About Museum Hoge Woerd

Castellum Hoge Woerd is a modern reconstruction of the Roman fort dating back 2000 years
ago in De Meern (Utrecht), at the original location and in life size. Today the castellum is the place where culture, nature and history come together in a unique way, and also one of the largest archaeological monuments in the Netherlands. In addition to the museum, this special cultural gathering place houses a city farm with stables and gardens, a theater and a café-restaurant.

Museum Hoge Woerd is a unique and interactive museum for young and old. Admire the Roman ship De Meern 1, view the surroundings from the walls of the fort and delve into 3000 years of history through interactive exhibits. Visitors imagine themselves in Roman times for a while and discover life in a garrison town on the Limes (Latin for "border").
