    The brick factory is an example of the economic power that was already there in our region.

      In 1991, the Friends of Alte Ziegelei Westerholt e.V. was founded with the aim of maintaining the brickworks and rebuilding and expanding it as an industrial museum. In this way, a piece of industrial history should also be preserved for future generations and they should have the opportunity to find out about the laborious manual work of brick production and the working conditions at that time. On the grounds of the old brickworks, not only the ring kiln, but also the old machine house and the drying shed can be viewed today. You can also learn a lot about the production of bricks and the working techniques in the brick making industry,
      In addition, the museum grounds are also a meeting place. Not only weddings take place here, but a wide variety of events are also offered.

        In Westerholt, one of the oldest villages in the municipality of Wardenburg, rich deposits of clay were discovered at the beginning of the 19th century.
