About the museum
Museum Vreeburg is a 17th century urban farmhouse annexing a carriage museum in Schagen’s old centre that was completely restored in the old style. The farm is now a marvelous local museum which paints a picture of life and living around 1900. In a new building on the back of the farm, the carriage museum is situated where authentic carriages of the Westfrisian Folklore foundation are lined up.
