Bastionder: looking at the fortifications

Museum Bastionder at Bastion Oranje covers the fortifications and military history of ’s-Hertogenbosch. The underground space, the cannon Stuerghewalt and the view towards the Bossche Broek offer different points of interest.

Plan your visit ↗

Walls and openings

See how the display explains the function of walls and loopholes. A structural element becomes easier to understand once it is clear how it was used in the defence.

Pictures for the story

The video presentation covers the siege of 1629. Use it as an explanation of the subject and then compare it with what you can observe in the space itself.

Looking further outside

From the bastion you can include the surroundings in your visit. The transition between fortress and open landscape gives your viewing a different scale from the indoor display.

Before you go

Opening times change between summer and autumn; there is a closed period in winter. A stairlift is mentioned, but discuss in advance whether it meets your needs.
