Hanze-museum De Leeuw: cake moulds above the sweet shop

At Hotel De Leeuw, cake moulds, coffee grinders, baking tins and canisters are combined with a sweet shop and a café.

Plan your visit ↗

Giving a cake a picture

Cake moulds press a relief into the dough. Look at the depth, the mirror image and the wear, and ask what occasion or figure a mould was made for.

Grinding at the table or on your lap

Wall-mounted and lap coffee grinders show different ways of holding and catching the grounds. Compare the mechanism and ergonomics without automatically linking every example to Deventer.

Moulds and packaging

Chocolate and marzipan moulds, tins and shop wares follow food from making to selling. See how decoration makes both the product and the packaging appealing.

Before you go

Guide listings give different days: Thursday and Saturday, or Friday and Saturday. Call ahead to confirm the museum’s opening, and ask whether the museum can be visited separately from the café.
