Prison Gate Museum (Gevangenpoort)
  • Older kids can visit the museum with a special audio guide and see the dedicated exhibition in the former courthouse, but the Prison Gate Museum is not appropriate for children under 8.

  • Though the museum exhibitions are focused on exploring the historic relationships between crime and punishment, the torture chambers and instruments can be disturbing for impressionable visitors.

  • Multilingual interactive audio guides are available at the entrance, with narrations from the points of view of the prisoner, the jailer, the executioner, and the judge.

  • The prison museum is located in its original medieval building, with narrow passages, uneven floors, and interior steps. It is not accessible to wheelchairs or strollers.
