Facts and practical information

The Bussemaker House is a national monument on Ennekerdijk 11 in the Twente town of Borne in the Dutch province of Overijssel.

The Bussemaker House dates back to 1655, when it was built as a residence and trading house. The fabriker Jan Bussemaker rebuilt it in 1779 together with his wife Trijntje Hulshoff into its present form. It was from here that the Baptist Bussemaker plied his trade; he supplied the Twente home weavers with yarn and bought up their linen to resell in Holland. Together with the textile manufacturer Salomon Jacob Spanjaard they provided the poor population of Born with work and thus income.

After the last Bussemakers had left the house, the building was rented out to private persons for a longer period of time. In 1956, the Bussemakerhuis foundation was established and became the owner of the property as well as the knocker houses in Borne. The house, with a bell gable with sandstone attachments is the only preserved fabrikeurshuis in Overijssel and largely in its original state. Since the early 1990s, the Bussemakerhuis has been open to the public as a museum.
