Naarden Heritage Walk: The Perfect Star, Self-Guided App Tour

About this experience

Naarden was levelled in 1572 and rebuilt as Europe's most perfect star fortress, and that very perfection froze it in time. Six bastions, six ravelins, two moats, one small town: the massacre house, the philosopher's grave, the painted vault that rivals the Sistine Chapel, and 350 years of barely changed street plan are all waiting inside the walls, exactly where the soldiers left them. Ten stops through a UNESCO World Heritage fortress that turned its own defences into a time machine.
