Relocation of the AMAZONE Museum to the AMAZONE trials centre in Wambergen

Weitkamp Farm in Gaste was home to the AMAZONEN-WERKE factory museum for almost 20 years. The large threshing floor and the former cattle sheds housed the historical machinery from winnowers to drill combinations.

The attractive half-timbered house was an appropriate setting for our historical agricultural machinery. In the meantime, AMAZONEN-WERKE acquired the neighbouring Wambergen Estate and associated arable land, which extends to our premises. Now, of course, it was obvious that the exhibits collected over 135 years should be moved to the large premises at the Wambergen Estate.

There is plenty of space for the historical AMAZONE machinery on both sides of the hallway and the adjoining stable areas. We display the many small agricultural implements and historical household appliances used in farming in the rooms where the farm labourers and maids used to sleep.

While the future of modern agricultural machinery is on display on the grounds of Wambergen Estate, you can get an impression of over 100 years of technology history in the hallway. At the same time, the visitor is immersed in the living and working conditions of our ancestors who lived in the countryside.
