Textile factory
Experience industrial heritage in Bocholt
The textile factory with its weaving mill and spinning mill is located in the heart of a new cultural quarter between Bocholt town centre and Lake Aasee. A bridge over the River Aa connects the two museum locations. In the impressive halls of the historic Herding spinning mill, you can gain exciting insights into historical and modern technology, experience fashion history and contemporary design. In the weaving mill, you can expect an interactive experience with daily demonstrations on historic looms and a fully furnished house with a flourishing workers' garden.
