描述

The medieval Prison Gate in The Hague is one of the most important historic Dutch monuments in The Hague. Learn about how this historic monument is entwined with Dutch history and step back in time.
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.

Here you can see and experience how people were imprisoned, tried and punished in the past. In which cells were they held? Was there a difference between poor and rich prisoners? Where did they hear their verdict? And what punishments were given? You will hear all about it during a tour with our guide. Several important moments in Dutch history took place here, such as the murder of the De Witt brothers. You can also view the national collection of torture and punishment instruments in the museum.
