## Our history

				


				
In the early 1980s, the restoration of farmhouses began in the region. The members of the association took advantage of this and collected many well-preserved antique items. Thanks to these treasures from the past, the idea arose to establish a museum in which the development of village life, tradition and culture could be showcased.

Whilst searching for a suitable building, the association came across the building known as ‘a Schiewesch’. It was purchased in 1983. Historical records indicate that the building was constructed in 1600 as a sheepfold. In 1725, a house was added to it. From 1950 onwards, part of the building was used as a stable.

With a great deal of initiative, the club members restored the house. In 1988, the museum was able to open its doors. In 1990, the association was offered the opportunity to purchase the ‘Glesener’ house, which was used for agricultural purposes and lies opposite the ‘Schieweschhaus’. On 26 May 1996, the expanded museum was inaugurated.

## Complete renovation

				
The museum was completely renovated in 2015. Since then, the entrance hall has been transformed into the ‘Street of the Region’. It leads to 20 rooms depicting various scenes of village life. The exhibition covers more than 50 themes, which are brought to life through decorations, photographs and information boards.

In the 1950s, many skilled Dutch farmers emigrated to Luxembourg. You can find out more about this fascinating wave of immigration and why it forms such a valuable part of Luxembourg’s history by visiting our exhibition “Klompen in de koestal”. We look forward to seeing you!
