Erve Kots, Heritage museum in Lievelde, Netherlands
Erve Kots is a museum in Lievelde that focuses on the rural life and farming traditions of the Achterhoek region. The site contains several historic buildings, work areas, and old machines that show how a farm operated in past times.
The site emerged in the 1930s from a collection of buildings and later archaeological discoveries from the early Middle Ages. These findings show that the area had been settled for a very long time.
The site takes its name from traditional farm buildings and shows how people in the region lived and worked in earlier times. The way the structures are arranged reflects the daily life of a farming family in the Achterhoek.
The site is easy to access and visitors can move freely between the buildings and outdoor areas. Wearing comfortable shoes is recommended, and it is best to allow time to explore everything, especially if you want to see all the machinery and spaces.
The site still has working machines from the 1920s, including a sawmill and grinding equipment that operate using old methods. These functioning machines give a direct sense of how loud and physically demanding farm work was in earlier times.
