Opening hours
The museum is open every Tuesday to Sunday from 10 AM until 5 PM. Admission to the museum is free of charge. We kindly ask visitors to report to the reception desk upon arrival.
Public Holidays

Maintenance Work
From 6 to 30 August, the ramp in the main hall will be painted. To protect the 2.000-year-old Roman ship, it will be temporarily covered. The display cases containing the ship’s finds will also not be visible during this period. The rest of the museum, including the exhibition 3.000 Years of Living and Working and the Wood Chamber, will remain open as usual.
Accessibility
Castellum Hoge Woerd is largely accessible to all visitors. An elevator is available in both the entrance hall and the main hall. Reserved parking spaces are located near the main entrance, and accessible toilets are available throughout the building. The platform of the temporary exhibition can only be reached via a few steps. The ramp in the main hall is relatively steep and may be less comfortable for visitors using a wheelchair or walker. The intermediate doors on the ramparts are relatively heavy to open.
Group visits
Museum Hoge Woerd organises many hundreds of guided tours and school visits each year. To ensure an optimal museum experience and/or guided tour, we kindly request that all groups of 15 or more people register in advance by sending an email to museum@castellumhogewoerd.nl. The museum charges a modest fee for group tours and school visits to cover the cost of tour guides/attendants and materials.
