Waelstee: Texel heritage in two stolp farmhouses

Texels Erfgoedmuseum Waelstee in De Waal covers farm life and agriculture on the island. The two stolp farmhouses (stolpboerderijen) provide a fitting setting for tools, handicrafts and other objects.

An island beyond the beach

The focus on sheep, cattle and farming shows another side of Texel. See which tasks are connected with an object and what local background is given. This gives the island’s story a concrete, everyday character.

Crafts in the museum

The forge and craft demonstrations can add extra explanation to the collection. They take place at specific times and are not automatically available throughout the day. Ask on arrival which activities are taking place that day and plan your tour around them.

Check the season

The regular weekly timetable lists Tuesday to Sunday, but other information links the renovated museum to a season running until early November. Outside that period, check whether it is open. The museum states that it is suitable for visitors with reduced mobility.

Before you go

Check demonstrations and winter opening; the end of the season is not stated equally clearly everywhere.
