Bowling Museum

The Puentedey Bowling Museum is an ethnographic and monographic museum dedicated to the traditional game of bowling, one of the most deeply rooted expressions of the cultural heritage of Las Merindades and other areas of Spain. It is located in Puentedey, in the province of Burgos, Castilla y León, at coordinates 42.97630, -3.68683. The available documentation places it in the old restored horseshoeing colt, a building reused to house the exhibition. Inside the building there are bowling pins from different regions, as well as pieces and explanatory panels on the traditional modalities, the history of the game and its presence in rural life. Some sources also highlight the presence of a restored mill in the visitable set. Therefore, the resource is not a historic-artistic monument in the classic sense, but a cultural facility of a heritage nature focused on the conservation and dissemination of a traditional sport. Its value lies in the staging of a popular practice transmitted for centuries and in the recovery of a traditional space in the old town of Puentedey.
