Accesibility

Borg

Due to the many stairs and thresholds, the borg building is unfortunately less accessible for the disabled and wheelchair users. If desired, ramps can be provided for access to the Great and Small Halls. It is possible to borrow a folding chair.

Coach house / store / exhibition space

These rooms are easily accessible to wheelchair users

Grand café/ disabled toilet

Grand café De Boerderij, located on the estate, is completely wheelchair-friendly. A disabled toilet is available in the restaurant and accessible during museum opening hours.

Orangery / park

The Orangery is also easily accessible for wheelchairs. The paths in the park are unpaved. In dry weather, they are passable for visitors in wheelchairs.

Sounds and lights

The Fraeylemaborg is a listed building with a lot of woodwork. Floors and stairs sometimes creak. In some rooms, the light reacts to sensors. The same applies to the playing of films. On weekdays we sometimes have school classes visiting, which can cause some extra noise. Before your visit, please inquire about this at info@fraeylemaborg.nl or by phone (during office hours): + 31 598-421568.

Grand Café

Grand café De Boerderij is a versatile catering establishment in one of the most beautiful locations in the province of Groningen. Combine your visit to the borg or park with a nice lunch, fresh coffee with homemade cake or drinks with snacks. It is also possible to hold receptions or parties at De Boerderij.

Opening hours
