The Touwmuseum in Oudewater is well worth a visit. This atmospheric museum is located in the hall where hemp, yarn, sleds and hand spindles used to be kept. The seventeenth-century storage hall is the last of its kind that, although restored, is still in its original state.

The source of the wealth of the citizens of Oudewater was the manufacture of ropes (here was the historical coastline; most of the land to the west is polder land. After the destruction in the Eighty Years' War, the citizens managed to rebuild the city by their own means at the end of the 16th century th century to rebuild - from a single source.
