Zuivelfabriek Freia, Dairy factory in Netherlands Open Air Museum, Arnhem, Netherlands
The Freia Dairy Factory building contains original steam engines and equipment for producing cheese and butter using methods from 1908.
Founded in 1879 in Friesland, Freia was the first dairy factory in the Netherlands before being reconstructed at the Open Air Museum in 1991.
The factory represents the industrialization period of Dutch dairy production, marking the transition from manual farming to mechanical processing methods.
Visitors can observe demonstrations of traditional dairy production techniques and learn about the laboratory processes used for quality control.
The factory's chimney stands at 17 meters tall, shorter than its original 30-meter height, to remain below the museum's tree line.
