Nationaal Brandweermuseum
Nationaal Brandweermuseum Hellevoetsluis (Est.1963) - the total surface of this national fire brigade museum is approximately 3,000 m², making it the largest fire brigade museum in the Netherlands. It is just enough for the large collection of historic and old fire engines and other emergency services equipment.
The museum is located in the former large warehouse of the Dutch navy and a Kuiperij from 1786, near the end of the Dutch golden age. The Groot Magazijn was a repository for masts, chains, sails and other ship supplies with which the warships of the Dutch navy were supplied from the Vestinghaven of Hellevoetsluis. The Kuiperij also made wooden barrel beacons for pilotage. A small part of the warehouse is used by the City Museum. Hellevoetsluis used to be an important defence a Dutch navy base the main navy for centuries. It's a very nice location whith lots of history to be found.
