De Pothaar: Salland farm life in period rooms

In a farmhouse near Bathmen, traditional dress, tableware, photographs, tools and rituals are brought together in separate period rooms.

Plan your visit ↗

Clothing and everyday use

Traditional dress and tableware do not by themselves tell you who wore or used them. Read the captions for place, period and occasion, and compare an everyday piece with a festive version.

Rituals in farm life

Birth, marriage and death are named as themes. Look for which objects mark a transition and which belong mainly to ordinary housekeeping or farm work.

Tools and QR route

Farm implements and a virtual tour via QR code complement the rooms. Only use the digital explanations after you have looked at the shape, wear and probable use yourself.

Before you go

The official page mentions only Wednesdays in the summer season; other guides give wider, conflicting schedules. Groups of ten or more can arrange a visit all year round.
