Bakkerijmuseum


A classical 17th-century farmstead houses this delightful museum that comprehensively examines baking from grain production to speculaas (a type of biscuit) moulding. There’s also a chocolate statue and barns of milling machines. Come on Tuesdays in the summer holidays to see the baking demonstrations. It's near the motorway junction 2km south of central Veurne.
