Weaver’s House from Assendelft, where authentic looms are used to display the old craft….<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The “Weaver’s House” at Zeilenmakerspad 8 originated in Assendelft and was built between 1722 and 1730. For centuries, this distinctive double house served as a home weaving mill, where two families lived amid five looms. The weaving industry in Assendelft and Krommenie flourished thanks to hundreds of home weavers; the Weaver’s House is a wonderful example of this unique craft. With its rich history, the Weaver’s House is now a fascinating museum where you can discover all about the Old Dutch craft of sail and mill cloth weaving.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The cottage was saved from the demolition hammer by Stadsherstel in 2011 and carefully rebuilt on the Zaanse Schans in 2015. Here visitors can take a step back in time and learn about the world of home weaving: see the bedstead, crawl behind the loom themselves and learn all about this time-honored craft from the home weavers present in their traditional costumes. The Weaver’s House is managed by the Zaans Museum.<\/p>\n<\/div>
