Verhalenkamer Willibrordus: past and recovery stories

The Verhalenkamer Willibrordus in Heiloo covers the psychiatric past and present of the estate. Personal recovery stories sit alongside a timeline and a literary collection.

Different voices

A personal story offers its own perspective on care and recovery. Take that as a starting point and let different experiences exist side by side, without turning a single story into a general explanation.

Literature as another way in

Madness in world literature is mentioned as a collection subject. A literary portrayal does something different from a historical document or testimony; that very difference can deepen your viewing.

Exploring the estate further

Guided tours connect the Verhalenkamer with its surroundings. The information point also has walking and cycling maps, so an indoor visit can be combined with a route outside.

Before you go

Check the Tuesday-to-Saturday opening and make an appointment for a guided visit. Extra Sunday openings are special occasions and do not form a fixed visiting schedule.
