Wendezoele: farm work between bread oven and orchard

At Erve Brinkcate, Twente farm life between about 1900 and 1960 is spread across the farmyard, barns, gardens and a small stock of animals.

Plan your visit ↗

A complete farmstead

The farmhouse, Saxon barn, cart shed, spieker (granary) and hay barrack show that storage and work were spread out. Follow one product – grain, vegetables or hay – from building to building.

Bread oven and horse gin

The cookhouse with its bread oven is about food; the horse gin (geubel) is about mechanical drive. Compare how fire and mechanical motion each organise work, and what safety clearance was needed.

Garden, field and animals

The herb garden, vegetable garden and orchard, together with the field crops, place household goods alongside production. In season, look at which plants are actually growing, and distinguish live demonstration from historical explanation.

Before you go

Regular visits are seasonal. Public holidays, the autumn school holidays and theme days have separate hours; groups can arrange a visit outside the season.
