Description

Loevestein Castle is a medieval fortress with a fascinating history dating back to the 14th century. Located at the confluence of the Maas and Waal rivers, the castle was a strategic control point for waterways.

This place is famous for the legendary escape of Hugo Grotius, who broke out of prison in 1621 hidden in a book case. The thick stone walls, towers and moat create an authentic medieval atmosphere.

The castle offers interactive exhibitions, opportunities to dress up in historical costumes and treasure hunts - perfect for families with children. A real gem is the possibility to stay overnight in the former soldiers' quarters.
