Klompenmakerij Koop: four generations of wood underfoot

In De Lutte, a working clog workshop combines a film, old and new machines, hand tools and a shop.

Plan your visit ↗

The family story first

The film of about 25 minutes introduces the clog and the family business. Note one step in the production process and then find it again at the machines along the route.

Machines then and now

Compare how an old and a modern machine hold, shape and hollow out the wood. Notice what was automated and where skilled control was still needed.

Hand tools at the end

Knives and other hand tools make small corrections visible. At a demonstration, ask which operation a machine cannot carry out neatly enough.

Before you go

The working day includes a midday closure. The season, public holidays and holiday periods can change the schedule; group demonstrations are for 20–50 people by appointment. Ask in advance whether production is running that day.
