Home-weaving


The Weaver’s House served as a weaving mill until the start of the twentieth century. In 2015, the house was reconstructed at the Zaanse Schans and is now used by the Zaans Museum to demonstrate the traditional craft of home-weaving.

The loom


Experience how it really was: take a seat behind the loom, grab some rest in the box bed, and come meet the weavers in their traditional costume.

Shop


The Weaver’s House also houses a traditional-looking shop filled with unique gift items. Here you’ll find an exciting range of original gift items and tools relating to the craft of weaving and to textiles.

S.R. Tiemstra en Zonen


The interior originates from cooperage and barrel-makers S.R. Tiemstra & Sons from Oostzanerwerf in the north of Amsterdam. Upon his death, the last cooper – Jaap Tiemstra – bequeathed the entire cooperage to the Zaans Museum.

Inventory
The tools, machines, vats, and inventory now have their own special place on the Zaanse Schans and the Zaans Museum has breathed new life into the cooperage of Jaap Tiemstra. Knowledgeable volunteers will tell you all about and demonstrate the old craft of making barrels.
