The fortress on the map
Start with plans or images of Stevensweert. Follow the streets and lines of defence, and then compare them outside with the present-day layout of the village.
Two villages, one island
Notice how Stevensweert and Ohé en Laak are each represented. Objects, names and locations show where stories meet and where the museum makes a distinction.
A changing perspective
Temporary exhibitions add a subject to the permanent regional history. Check in advance which exhibition is on, because an exhibition from 2026 mentioned in the research card is tied to specific dates.
Before you go
From 1 April the museum is open Friday to Sunday 13.30–17.00; from 1 November Sunday only. Groups can request other times. Also check for occasional closures.
