Museum Broekerveiling

Museum Broekerveiling offers a unique glimpse into the history of Dutch vegetable auctions, housed in the original 1912 auction building in Broek op Langedijk. Visitors can explore the authentic auction hall, complete with the iconic clock system used to set prices, and learn about the region's agricultural heritage through interactive exhibits and historical artifacts. The museum also features a demonstration of the traditional 'handkar' (handcart) used by farmers to transport produce, and a small café serving local specialties. For a hands-on experience, guests can participate in a mock auction or take a guided boat tour through the adjacent canals, which were once vital for transporting goods. The museum is easily accessible by car or public transport, with ample parking nearby, and is open from April to October, with reduced hours in winter. Combine your visit with a stroll through the charming village of Broek op Langedijk, known for its historic houses and scenic waterways, or explore the nearby 'Buitencentrum Schoorlse Duinen' for a nature-filled day.
