Take a closer look

De Postwagen in Tolbert has a history dating back to the end of the 18th century. Originally, it was an inn and stop for stagecoaches, where travellers rested and horses were changed. Thanks to its favourable location, De Postwagen grew into an important meeting point for the village and the region.

Over the years, its function changed with the times: from inn and transport hub to village pub and party location. Generations of Tolberters came together here for meetings, celebrations and relaxation. Even after setbacks, such as a major fire, De Postwagen remained a symbol of togetherness and resilience.

Today, De Postwagen connects past and present: a place where hospitality, history and conviviality come together in the heart of Tolbert.
