The Flax Weaving Museum
The Flax Weaving Museum
4.3
About
The museum is a working museum, where a number of voluntary people meet some mornings a week to weave, work in the sowing room, repair and maintain the looms, start up new activities etc. Everything to make it possible to show a living and attractive museum to the public, but also to contribute to the history of this old handicraft, which was later industrialised, so that it can be preserved for the future. During the opening hours the looms are not running because the old looms are very noisy, but all visitors are offered a guided tour where a jacquard power-loom is demonstrated. The museum was established in the years 1993-1995 after Kurt Reindel, the owner of the closed Tommerup Weaving Mill, had donated the power-looms of the mill and their accessories. Most of the looms are from the 1930s when his father Edmund Reindel started the weaving mill. Exhibitions, cafe and shop have been established in the former cow house of Krengerup which used to hold 100 dairy cows. This building was constructed about 1860. The working museum, the Weaving Hall, has been established in a new cow house that used to hold heifers. The restoration and furnishing of the old cow-houses of Krengerup was made possible through a number of funds and donations.

Would like to say hello from the whole team and thank you for the nice tour. Weaving was talked about all the way home, so it has been an experience for them. Also a greeting to Lis for her skillful way of telling about the history of weaving etc.

This small museum is off the beaten track. It provides an experiential view of the history of the accomplished Danish weavers. Knowledgeable guides, able to speak different languages, take you from older hand looms to amazing mechanized looms of the 19th century. You get to see everything actually working and can try your hand out at a number of machines. The textiles produced are varied and beautiful. There is a small shop that sells items the volunteers make on the machines. I highly recommend it for people with interest in technology or handicrafts and for children
