Discover everything there is to know about the traditional Dutch craft of sailcloth and windmill cloth weaving at the Weaver’s House at Zaanse Schans. You can take a seat behind the loom, grab some rest in the box bed and meet the weavers in their traditional costume. The Weaver’s House served as a weaving mill until the start of the twentieth century. In 2015, the house was reconstructed. It also houses a shop filled with unique gifts.
