Hattem

Enter the fairy-tale world of Anton Pieck through the charming historical courtyard, and access his original workshop and studio. Wander around the cosy museum rooms, admire the methods and materials of the artist and take a plunge into the world of Pieck’s myriads of paintings, etchings and graphics. The museum’s temporary exhibitions always feature something inspiring and unexpected. You can also join one of the many workshops and activities offered, catered to all ages. Your ticket entitles you to free admission to the Voerman Museum Hattem.

The Dutch Bakery Museum in Hattem takes up three buildings and a tunnel below the street and, as such, is definitely the largest and most diverse bakery museum of the Netherlands. This ‘experience museum’ is suitable for visitors of all ages, and aims to take you through the history of bread and pastry. The baking demonstrations with the traditional wood-burning oven take you way back in time, but you can also take a look behind the scenes of our modern bakery. For groups, we have several packages available; ‘Baking Together’ and the ‘Symbolism in Bread’ baking demonstration both fit in well with the food and drinks available at our restaurant, like coffee with a treat from our own bakery or a special lunch menu.

The Voerman Museum’s striking historical premises almost matches its collection in relevance and appeal. The museum is made up of two interconnected townhouses that each have their own character and charm. What’s on display inside can be subdivided into three core collections –archaeology, history and the visual arts. Archaeological findings are displayed in the cellar, the vaulted ceiling of which is an added asset. The museum offers very interesting findings and depictions of Hattem’s earliest known history, including recently unearthed bell beakers.

Guided walking tour of Hattem’s charming and characteristic old town. You will be told stories of Hattem’s most famous son, the Patriot politician Herman Willem Daendels, stories about the Dijkpoort city gate, ghost dog Kladdegat as well as the Dikke Tinne castle. 

Culinary walking tour of the town centre. Similar to the standard walking tour, but with the added bonus of getting to sample and learn all about the craftsmanship of three local culinary entrepreneurs.

The guide will share fun and interesting information about the picturesque Hansa town of Hattem, while taking you on a tour of the centuries-old monuments and small streets and alleyways of the old town. A memorable walk of 1 to 1.5 hours. Vadesto is also the Hattem starting point of the so-called Klompenpad ‘het Hoenwaardsepad’, a roundtrip walk that takes visitors through authentic rural landscapes. The town walking tour is a great match with a one-hour boat tour that is suddenly decidedly more rural, and on which it may be possible to spot the occasional kingfisher or even a beaver.
