Discover the stories and traditions of the past at De Locht!
Join our village children Sefke and Doortje on a journey of discovery through our village of the past and experience how people lived in the countryside, what games were played, what clothes the children wore and what they ate.
Regularly special activities are being organised for children. Check our activity calendar, follow us on social media or subscribe to our newsletter.

Children’s paradise
The children’s paradise is the perfect place for children. There is a dressing-up box with nice old-fashioned clothes. You can wear anything. Feel free to put on a cap or hat and don’t forget to take a photo. Take a seat in the school benches of the past and discover what a classroom used to look like. Play the games of the past in the games room or set the mini funfair in motion with the push of a button. All parts are made from waste. Do you recognize anything?
How do mushrooms, tomatoes and cucumbers grow?
Can you really grow lettuce on water? Why is asparagus white and how does that come about? In our museum you will discover everything that is needed to grow these crops. Visit the greenhouses, the mushroom pavilion and the asparagus and auction building. That is not only fun, but also educational!
Medieval farm
Visit the medieval farm and discover how farm life was here. From April to October, the residents are home on Wednesdays. They will be happy to tell you about life back then. You can also regularly try something yourself, such as making candles or writing with a quill. In our amphitheatre, you can try out medieval toys and games, such as hobby horse riding or spinning tops.
Playing outside
Do you still have energy left? Grab a go-kart, tractor, scooter or bike and go exploring. Try the stilts or throw rings. Your parents can then take a break on the cozy terrace. There is also a small playground and the little ones can enjoy themselves in the sandbox. In our museum village there is entertainment for young and old.
