Description

The Museu Etnològic dels Calderers in Sant Joan is an ethnological museum set on a historic finca in the central plain of Mallorca.

A manor house as a living history book

The Finca Els Calderers offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of wealthy Mallorcan families from bygone eras. The authentically preserved rooms, complete with their original furniture and furnishings, create the feeling of stepping back in time. The exhibition is lovingly arranged and spans several floors of the manor house — do bear in mind that there are steps to navigate inside.

Farming, craftsmanship and tasting

Alongside the living quarters, the estate includes historic working buildings: a smithy, a mill, a bakery, a barn and agricultural display areas that bring to life what it was like to work on a large Mallorcan country estate. Animals also roam the grounds, making a visit all the more enjoyable for families with children. To round things off, you can sample local produce such as wine and almond cake. The on-site café also serves a wider selection of food and drinks.

Finding your way around

The tour is self-guided; leaflets available at the entrance explain the numbered rooms and stations — and yes, German-language descriptions are available too. The estate is peacefully situated and makes a lovely spot for a rest on the surrounding green grounds.
