Tough love story at Slot Loevestein this spring break

How far will you go for love? Would you give back to your fiancé your wedding vows if you had to go to prison for life? So that the other person is free to marry someone else? And would you allow yourself to be locked in a prison to be with your beloved?

Pastor Arnoldus Geesteranus and his fiancée, Susanna van Oostdijk, faced this dilemma 400 years ago. Did they choose love? Or for freedom? How will this end? The enthusiastic museum guides at Loevestein will tell you all about this love story during spring break.

Discovering the fortress
This spring vacation there is lots to do at Slot Loevestein. Every day beautiful stories, a scavenger hunt where you will look for something for Hugo the Great, and the pewter foundry is coming to visit.

Explore the fortress and learn how to shoot muskets, explode gunpowder in the Kruittoren and flood the fortress with the water game. Will you wander through the Munnikenland? Or would you rather listen to one of the many stories from the history of the sturdy castle? Can't choose? You don't have to. Take a rest in the Taveerne with some goodies and continue your tour through the wall stairs of the castle in search of Hugo de Groot's chest. Still got some energy left? Live it up on the climbing course!
