Rijksmuseum de Gevangenpoort is an icon in The Hague, beautifully situated on the Hofvijver. In the 13th century, this building formed the imposing gateway to the Binnenhof. Several centuries later it became a prison and courthouse of the mighty Hof van Holland. Here, suspected criminals waited for their trial and defaulters were imprisoned. Today, Museum de Gevangenpoort tells the exciting story of crime and punishment in times gone by.
