Have you ever seen the inside of an ancient prison? Have you met the jailer, the executioner, or the judge? Face to face with a guillotine? Experience the story of crime, trial, and punishment. From the past, but also from now! In the 15th century, the medieval gate became the most critical prison of the influential Court of Holland. Later, jail cells (Gaols) and the Court House were added. Suspects were imprisoned in the dark cells, waited to be interrogated, and sentenced. It remained a prison for four hundred years, and in 1822 became a museum. The museum hosts the most extensive collection of instruments of punishment and torture in the Netherlands.
