BURCHT
Located in Nieuwstraat, built on a small artificial hill, one of the oldest examples of a fortress in the Netherlands
This emblematic fortress stands at the beginning of Nieuwstraat, where you'll notice its 17th-century portal adorned with a lion bearing the city's coat of arms and its two keys. The Leiden Burcht, built on a small artificial hill, is one of the oldest examples of a fortress in the Netherlands. Since the 17th century, it has been used as a municipal garden. Here, you can enjoy a pleasant walkway offering spectacular views over the city. A café adds a friendly touch to this historic site. A must-see.
