Vechtstreekmuseum and its collection
Source
The Vechtstreekmuseum is housed in the former ‘buitenplaats’ Silverstein in the old town hall that was rebuilt in 1744 into the carriage house of Goudestein. The museum focuses on the cultural and historical past of the ‘Vechtstreek’. The history of Maarssen and the river de Vecht with its ‘buitenplaatsen’ are some of the topics that are covered in the museum. The collection is divided into three periods: the period of ‘ontginning’ (1000 - 1200), the period of knights and castles (1200 - 1600) and the period of the ‘buitenplaatsen’ (1600 - 1800).
