Schagen 1940–1945 from the castle tower

The regional war museum uses personal and local objects to tell the story of occupation, daily life and liberation in Schagen and the surrounding area.

Plan your visit ↗

Place before the general story

Choose one object with a known Schagen provenance and look for the street, owner and date. This keeps local history concrete.

The guide as a pointer to sources

The extended guided tour helps you make connections, but keep asking which document, label or testimony supports a claim.

Education in a small space

The collection is also aimed at young people and school groups. The tower display requires supervision. Visits are currently by appointment only; discuss in advance which guided tour suits the group.

Before you go

Currently by appointment only. Schools and groups must always register in advance; bear in mind the stairs in the castle tower.
