Bocholt textile museum

The Bocholt Textile Museum spans two connected buildings over the Aa River, featuring a historical spinning mill and a reconstructed weaving shed with sawtooth roofs.

Established in 1989, the museum occupies the former Herding spinning mill from 1907, which operated with 23,000 cotton spindles and automated looms from the United States.

The museum maintains the industrial legacy of Munsterland's textile production, which transformed from flax cultivation to cotton processing during the 19th century.

The museum operates Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with the weaving mill open year-round and the spinning mill accessible from March to October.

The facility contains a preserved 1917 tandem compound steam engine from Baumwollweberei Heuveldop and maintains 32 operational historical looms for demonstrations.
