Het Kleinste Huisje: living in a few square metres

Het Kleinste Huisje van Schermerhorn shows the interior of a market gardener’s home. The story of Antje Tuijnman offers a personal way into this small living space.

Plan your visit ↗

One room, many functions

See how different everyday activities are given a place in the interior. What strikes you about the available space and the furnishings? View the house on its own scale, without attributing to its occupants the same wishes for a home as your own.

Antje Tuijnman as a starting point

The explanation about Antje Tuijnman links the house to an occupant’s story. Read which memories and details are told. This keeps the house more than a collection of old things or merely an unusually small building.

Outside, there is more space

The picnic garden offers a different view: the Eilandspolder and windmills form the setting of the house. Educational boat trips are also offered. These need planning of their own and are not an automatic part of a short visit.

Before you go

The interior has limited capacity. Check the remaining Sundays of the season and arrange other visits or a boat trip in advance.
