The museum, situated in the centre of Vingelen, is 30 years old and houses objects collected from Trinity church (1653 – 1882) and old Vingelen school (1840 – 1958).
Vingelen church, situated right beside the museum, is one of the village's main landmarks. The present building was erected in 1880 and is a so-called 'long church' in Neo-gothic style. Ancient building techniques and the over 800 pre-1900 houses still standing provide a distinctive character to the whole village.

Coffee and 'biteti' (a little snack) for sale. It is very nice to eat outside in the museum garden when the weather is nice.
