Overview
The Freriksschure is an old Saxon village farm building behind Markt 14 in Aalten. It takes its name from Harmen Jan Freriks, a surgeon and midwife who lived for many years in the town house at Markt 14 and used the barn as a coach house.
In 1985 the building was fitted out as an agricultural museum, and today it forms part of the Nationaal Onderduikmuseum. The building is a listed national monument.
The barn displays tools used by farmers around 1900. The collection includes equipment for a range of agricultural activities, including dairy work, home slaughtering, soil cultivation and harvesting. It also contains tools representing trades closely connected with farming, such as saddlery, wheelwrighting and clog making.
Carts and carriages are also on display. The museum shows forms of domestic industry as well, including processing flax into linen and the ‘wash street’ used for washing textiles. A sitting room and a ‘junk loft’ have also been recreated. The highlight is the wheelwright’s workshop, which survives in its entirety and is exceptionally rare.
