From castellum to bunker
The presentation links widely varying forms of defence, from a Roman castellum to Second World War bunkers. First look at what such a structure had to do before comparing details. That way the form becomes the answer to a practical question.
Defence lines on a smaller scale
The Staats-Spaanse Linies (States-Spanish Lines) receive a lot of attention. LEGO dioramas of castles, bastions and bunkers, among other things, offer a clear way of looking at structures. Keep in mind the difference between the model and the historical site it represents.
An afternoon in IJzendijke
Opening times differ between the long season from April to October and the last months of the year. There is also a last admission time. A possible visit to the Mauritskerk has its own conditions and does not automatically fit in with every museum day.
Before you go
Check the seasonal schedule, public holidays and last admission; arrange a group visit in advance.
