Blacksmith's shop

This small half-timbered commercial building was constructed around 1850. It was the workshop of the village blacksmith of Neeroeteren.

The roof here is not covered with thatch or straw, but with roof tiles. In a smithy, the risk of fire was high due to the open fire. That is why tiles were laid on the roof here.
