Aldfaers Erf

Aldfaers Erf is a museum complex in Allingawier featuring separate buildings for a blacksmith shop, traditional bakery, and shoemaker workshop. The site includes dedicated exhibition spaces alongside the Word and Image Church and Expokerk, all arranged on open grounds.

Founded in 1977, this museum was created to preserve traditional crafts and rural life from the Friesland region. It later joined the Museumfederatie Fryslân, becoming part of a network dedicated to safeguarding local heritage.

The Word and Image Church displays audiovisual works about creation, while the Expokerk shows regional art. These spaces reflect how local artistic traditions shape the place today.

The complex is accessible by car and fully wheelchair accessible throughout all areas. You can move freely between the separate buildings and explore them at your own pace.

The working bakery allows visitors to watch drabbelkoeken, a traditional Frisian cookie, being prepared using historical methods. This active craft gives you a chance to experience the sights and smells of the baking process firsthand.
