Kasteel Hernen told by a lantern

Kasteel Hernen lets visitors move through rooms, corridors and defensive parts of the building with a talking lantern, with the building itself as the main source.

Plan your visit ↗

A route with voice and light

The lantern triggers stories at fixed points. At the same time, keep an eye on doors, walls and passageways: that is where you can see how the tour makes use of the existing castle.

From defending to living

The presentation follows the shift from fortified stronghold to more comfortable home. Compare a defensive part with a living room and note the adaptations this required.

The collapsed tower

Light and sound effects mark the story of the vanished tower. Distinguish between the preserved building trace and the theatrical means that help to picture the event.

Before you go

The castle is generally open Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons; last entry is well before closing time.
