Coevorden

An 11th-century castle in the middle of the city. The castle houses a hotel and restaurant nowadays but is still a notable sight of Coevorden.

Housed in a monumental building in the centre of the city, the Stedelijk Museum documents the history of Coevorden. It features several notable items, including a maquette of Coevorden's defensive works, as well as the iron helmet worn by Cal von Rabenhaupt, who managed to win the city from Spanish hands within an hour on December 30th, 1672.

Art museum with both permanent and temporary exhibitions, mainly of contemporary art.

Museum about Jewish life in the province Drenthe in a former synagogue.

An open-air museum documenting much of Southeast Drenthe's cultural history. The museum itself is named after two giants, said to roam the Ellertsveld, where the museum is located, some four hundred years ago. Within the relatively small museum, you will find reconstructions of a Saxon farmhouse, a rural school, jailhouse, toll house and sod house.

Dutch counterpart to Plopsa Indoor Hasselt and Plopsaland De Panne, this too is an indoor theme park tailored to young children.

Because of its strategic position in the past, Coevorden was a fortified city with earthen ramparts from the late 16th and 17th centuries. Part of these ramparts are still remaining and are accessible in the Van Heutsz Park.
