About us

Rich history since 1965

What makes ’t Achterhuis special is the combination of a passion for authentic materials and an unparalleled collection. With over 30,000 m² of exhibition space, the company has grown into the place for antique building materials, fireplaces, floors, and garden ornaments. In the workshops, quality always comes first: each piece is carefully selected and presented in inspiring settings that create a true sense of experience.

The story of ’t Achterhuis begins in 1965, when Lambert (Bert) van Alebeek received antique building materials in exchange during his bread delivery route. What started as a coincidental barter trade grew into a passion and the foundation of a company that would become a well-known name both nationally and internationally.

Today, ’t Achterhuis is more than a supplier of materials. It is a place where craftsmanship, history, and inspiration come together. By innovating while cherishing the past, the company remains true to its origins and relevant for new generations of building and living enthusiasts.
