Streekmuseum Goeree-Overflakkee

The Goeree-Overflakkee Regional Museum is a surprising and multifaceted museum that brings the rich history of the island of Goeree-Overflakkee to life. Housed in a unique row of historic 17th-century stepped-gable houses in the historic center of Sommelsdijk, you’ll step right into another era the moment you enter. The museum illustrates how the island’s inhabitants once lived—through both hardship and prosperity—how they battled the water, and what life was like in the worlds of crafts and agriculture. Thanks to the atmospheric, thematic design, a visit feels like strolling through a lived-in island village from the year 1900.
