On this site, we will keep you informed of the activities taking place in our Blacksmith museum called "D'OALE SMEDERIË"

You are most welcome to actually come visit our museum, which is situated in the picturesque village of Hellendoorn in the Eastern part of The Netherlands.

As we would like to preserve the precious art of Blacksmithing, we have courses in our museum on a regular basis for all those who are interested in learning  more about it. Our craftsmen will teach you the priciples of Blacksmithing.

Should you be interested in following a course or in case you  have any questions, please send us an email
