There used to be dozens of ‘boos’ in this border region – a type of barn built from wood and reed. The Wilmsboo is the only one that has survived.

History
Already in 1654 the Wilms’ Boo in Nieuw-Schoonebeek is mentioned. At that time tens of ‘boo’s’ were in the area bordering the Netherlands and Germany. Most of the time part of the herd of oxen stayed at a ‘boo’, a stable made out of wood and reed about ten kilometres from the central farm. The many former ‘boo’s’ disappeared. Wilmsboo is the only one left. In 2008 the building was fully renovated and became a place for working and living. Naturally in the authentic style with the characteristic oak beams, oak walls and thatched finishing. The modern Wilmsboo is a unique monument at a historical location, very close to the German border.
