Keramiekmuseum Tiendschuur, museum in Tegelen, Netherlands

Keramiekcentrum Tiendschuur Tegelen is a museum housed in a historic tithe barn on the Holtmühle Castle estate in the Netherlands. The collection displays ceramics spanning from ancient Roman objects to contemporary works, including traditional pieces from the local pottery industry that developed over many centuries.

The building began as a tithe barn, used to store agricultural contributions for Holtmühle Castle. The Tegelen region became a major pottery production center over many centuries, a history documented through the ceramics displayed here from different time periods.

The museum reflects the deep roots of pottery in this region, where ceramic craftsmanship has been part of community life for centuries. The displayed pieces show how local traditions shaped the way people worked with clay and created objects for everyday use.

The museum opens Tuesday through Saturday in the afternoons and sits on an estate with gardens and ponds that you can walk around easily. Wheelchair access is available throughout, and there is a shop for ceramic souvenirs plus drinking water on site.

The museum displays the famous Tegelen dinnerware, known for its quality and distinctive three-color technique where yellow, white, and dark brown clay were applied over a red clay base. This method became a hallmark of the region's ceramic production.
