Museum Eenigenburg: a small village with links to the wider world

Museum Eenigenburg tells the story of dwelling mounds (terpen), the history of the dykes, a castle and emigration. The nearby day labourer’s cottage (daglonershuisje) also turns the focus to everyday domestic life.

A landscape with traces

The Tijdskompas (Time Compass) links various subjects from the surrounding area. See how the terpen, the Westfriese Omringdijk (West Frisian ring dyke) and ’t Huys te Nuwendore are placed in the story. This gives the village more background than just what you see in the street.

Living and leaving

The day labourer’s cottage offers a domestic scale, while the emigration story of the Eenigenburg family leads all the way to the United States. Give both parts attention: they raise different questions about living in a place and leaving it.

A Sunday in the season

Regular opening is on Sunday afternoons from May to September. Another contact listing gives October as the end, so have an autumn visit confirmed. Outside the regular hours, visits and groups may be possible by appointment.

Before you go

Check the end of the season, especially in October, and make an appointment outside the open Sundays.
