heritage after dark
Three historic locations. Three unique experiences. One night to remember.
Night of the Castle is an evening when three historic locations open their doors after dark for a unique journey of discovery. Follow clues, solve puzzles and explore interactive trails as you uncover the stories and history of each castle. Come with friends, work together and see what you can discover.

📅 Friday, 20 November
⏰ 17:00–23:59
📍 Three locations:
- Huygens’ Hofwijck, Voorburg
- Oud Wassenaar Castle, Wassenaar
- Duivenvoorde Castle, Voorschoten
Step inside a castle after sunset and discover history in a whole new way. During the very first Night of the Castle, three historic locations open their doors for an evening filled with stories, clues, puzzles and surprising discoveries.
Explore historic rooms, follow hidden routes, listen to stories from the past and work together to uncover what happened behind the castle walls. Each location has its own programme, inspired by its history, collections and stories. You might search for clues, follow a mysterious route or work together with others to unravel a secret. You decide how you experience the evening.
Visit one location, combine two, or go all out and visit all three to create your own Night of the Castle route. A shuttle bus will run between the three locations.
Night of the Castle is not a horror or Halloween event. Through light, sound, storytelling and games, history comes to life and you’ll experience these remarkable places in a completely different way. Bring your friends, let your curiosity lead the way and discover what comes alive after sunset.
