De Verborgen Vesting: underground with a guide

De Verborgen Vesting (The Hidden Fortress) in Bergen op Zoom can only be visited on a booked guided tour. Underground remains of the fortifications and an audiovisual presentation together make up the route, which starts at the ArcheoHotspot.

Plan your visit ↗

First, an explanation above ground

The tour begins with context on fortress building. This preparation helps you understand the remains below and distinguish between what is still visible and what the presentation explains further.

Images to go with the remains

The audiovisual show deals with the French attack of 1747. Watch it as a narrative about the subject and relate the guide’s explanation to what the spaces themselves show.

A fixed appointment

The archaeology tour has limited dates; other guided tours may be offered through the city guides. Each option requires a specific booking and confirmation of the starting point.

Before you go

The descent is by stairs only and is not suitable for visitors with limited mobility. Check the monthly tour calendar for exceptions and come to the agreed meeting point.
