Veenhuizen Prison Museum

The most exciting outing in the Netherlands.
Crime and punishment are timeless themes. But the way we punish people has changed significantly over the years. 

Discover what a prison used to look like and how prisoners were treated back then, as well as how things are done today.  

And how cool is it that you can look inside everywhere! You can take a peek inside the cells, the isolation ward, and the air cage. You can also take a tour of Veenhuizen on the “criminal bus,” where a guide will tell you all about the historic buildings.

Combine your visit with a trip to Museum de Proefkolonie and discover how the stories fit together perfectly. 

Parking is free.
