Teylers Museum
Teylers Museum in Haarlem is an art, natural history, and science museum founded in 1778. Its neoclassical Oval Room, built in 1784 behind the home of Pieter Teyler van der Hulst, is part of the historic core. Pieter Teyler was a wealthy cloth merchant and banker who left his fortune to support religion, art, and science.
Molen De Adriaan Museum
De Adriaan is a windmill originally from 1779 that burned down in 1932 and was rebuilt in 2002. It has been a distinct part of Haarlem’s skyline for centuries.
Haarlem Railway Station
Opened on September 20, 1839, Haarlem railway station is located on the Amsterdam–Rotterdam railway, the first railway line in the Netherlands. The station building is a designated rijksmonument.
Jopenkerk Brewery
Jopen beer began as a project by Stichting Haarlems Biergenootschap in 1992 to revive traditional Haarlem beers. Named after 112-litre beer barrels, it moved brewing locations several times before settling in the former Jacobskerk church, converted into the Jopenkerk brewery, café, and restaurant in 2010.
Frans Hals Museum
The Frans Hals Museum, founded in 1862, is located in Haarlem’s former Oude Mannenhuis on the Groot Heiligland. It holds a main collection of 17th-century paintings by Frans Hals and was divided in 1950 when modern art moved to a separate location.
