De Casteelse Poort: Wageningen through its objects

Stadsmuseum De Casteelse Poort tells the history of Wageningen. The Historiezaal and the media tour offer ways of connecting objects to local stories.

Plan your visit ↗

A town at different times

The presentation covers a long period, from prehistory to the present day. For an object, look not only for its dating but also its relationship with Wageningen. That local connection makes clear why this particular piece belongs in a town museum.

A story on your phone

The media tour ‘Waar gebeurd in Wageningen’ works with QR codes at objects. You can use these to explore a number of stories further. Ask on arrival how the tour works and choose parts that connect with what catches your eye in the gallery.

A guided tour as an alternative

A guided tour can be requested for groups. The museum is regularly open from Wednesday to Sunday, but has exceptions on public holidays. A visit around Liberation Day in particular needs checking: the town can be busy while the museum is closed.

Before you go

Check the list of public holidays; Liberation Day is listed as a closing day.
