The barracks and overgrown ramparts of Naarden-Vesting are a reminder of its illustrious past, when Naarden, as a military defence post, protected the access route to the rich region of Holland and the merchant city of Amsterdam from enemies. The Nederlands Vestingmuseum offers you the entire war history of the Netherlands in one visit!
Listening tours, cannon shots, boat trips, workshops, guided tours, children's parties and interesting collections: the Vestingmuseum houses it all. Walk the green ramparts and wander into the underground casemates. Experience the splendour of the Fortress.
