The museum where the history of witch hunts in the 16th and 17th centuries comes to life. When were you accused of witchcraft, and what were the consequences of such an accusation?

In the museum, you can relive that time and be weighed on a centuries-old scale. The Weighmaster will determine your weight using old weights and then confirm that you’re not a witch. All information about opening hours and admission can be found at www.heksenwaag.nl

The ‘Grote kerk’ is a spacious medieval church, with a characteristic saddle roof tower dating from the fourteenth century and a Kam en Van der Meulen organ from 1840, which has about 30 voices. It is certain that a small church already stood on the same site around the year 1000. (https://hervormdoudewater.nl/)

During a tower climb you will pass the bells and the carillon. Once at the top, a beautiful view awaits. In clear weather you can even see as far as Rotterdam and Utrecht. More on: https://oudewater.net/
