Historical Dutch trade and modern vegetable nursery

Go on a unique journey to the first and probably only vegetable auction in the world, deep in the North Holland polder. Museum BroekerVeiling has it all.

​

Experience the self-auction in this beautiful area built on the water during the demonstration, explore the Empire of the Thousand Islands during the cruise, tour the museum area with an experienced guide, visit a typical Dutch village, and experience not in the last show how the peppers and tomatoes grow in a sustainable environment with the latest technology.

 

The heart of this area was formed by the world's first sailing auction (a boat auction house). Since 1973, the sail-through auction has been a beautiful museum where you can experience how they used to run the company in the old days. What Happens at an Auction? How does an auction clockwork? Which vegetables are there in different seasons? You will learn this and much more during this unique journey. Definitely a discovery museum!

 

The highlight of the day! You take place in the trading office in the authentic auction banks. You feel the tension when the auctioneer advertises the vegetables, stops the auction clock and pays the price you bought them for. We slowly take you back to modern times. We visit a typical Dutch village where we take a walk. Feel the vibe in this beautiful place and enjoy the sightseeing.

 

A walk through the beautiful city of Enkhuizen. A port city near the Museum BroekerVeiling with historic VOC buildings, museums, unique sights such as the Zuiderkerk and numerous delicious cafes, bars and restaurants. The tour ends at the ZuiderZee Museum where you go back in time while visiting the authentic village.
