Plan your visit ↗

Learning to understand a defence line

Topics include inundation and the fighting at Woudenberg and Scherpenzeel. Look at how maps, explanations and objects relate to one another. This helps you understand a defence line as a whole, rather than as a set of separate structures.

From gallery to trench

Outdoors you can see, among other things, a refurbished trench and a casemate. Keep the distinction between original elements and reconstructions in mind. The cinema room and other information indoors can add background to what you see on the grounds.

A seasonal museum

Individual visits follow the season from April to October inclusive. Groups can also make arrangements outside that period. Note the payment method: iDEAL or a QR payment is mentioned, not card payment at a terminal.

Before you go

Check the season and payment options; groups must arrange a guided tour in advance.
