De Burghse Schoole: three rooms, three perspectives

Museum De Burghse Schoole uses a historic school building in Burgh-Haamstede. A classroom, the history of ring forts and a temporary exhibition each offer a different way in.

Plan your visit ↗

A class to look at

The schoolroom is furnished as a classroom from 1920. Notice the layout and the elements the museum uses to create that picture of the period. Compare it with your own experience of school, without assuming that every school used to be the same.

The ring fort next to the school

A permanent display is about ring forts (ringwalburgen). Behind the museum lies the Carolingian ring fort, so inside and outside can complement each other. Read the explanations first so that you know better what to look out for outside.

The third room changes

The temporary exhibition room offers different subjects or local art each year. So check the current exhibition. The entrance has steps and the museum is not wheelchair accessible. Friday is not a regular opening day either, although some weekly overviews seem to suggest so.

Before you go

Check the seasonal hours and bear in mind that the entrance is not wheelchair accessible.
