Our promise

And we keep it.

We promise that:

you never need a reason to drop by, strike up a conversation with someone you've just met, laugh harder than you planned, stay longer than you meant, and come back without a reservation.

We're not exclusive; we're for everyone. Not 'passion'; but fire. Nothing to 'discover'; just do it. We don't 'unburden'; we listen. We're not a concept, not a chain, not an experience. We're simply Het Broeker Huis.

Never alone, never go home again. And always room for one more.

Broeker Huis village hall

Where Broek meets itself.

In 1789 Neeltje Pater bequeathed Het Broeker Huis to the church, on the strict condition that it may "never be used for anything other than the common good of the citizens of Broek in Waterland".

Friday night the bridge club, baby group on Wednesday morning, a living room with its door open. Pub quiz, dance night, children's theatre & guest chefs. The village decides what happens here.
