The Burcht van Leiden (Fort of Leiden) is one of the oldest remaining forts in Holland. Itis built on a motte, an artificial hill, and was part of a so-called shell keep. Archaeologists have determined that the hill was built towards the end of the ninth century. The top of the hill was circled by a wall, and in the past also supported a tower. The fort lost its military function as early as the fourteenth century. This picturesque spot is an absolute must-see during any visit to Leiden; at the top of its numerous steps, a magnificent view of the city awaits you.

Koornbrug bridge is a characteristic bridge across the New Rhine and a national monument. In the past, this bridge was a trading site for various types of grain, collectively known as koren – hence its name. Its famous roof was constructed during the nineteenth century to ensure that the goods remained dry, which makes it the oldest, but not the only, roofed bridge in the Netherlands. A handsome spot that enjoys great popularity among photographers.

Parks & Nature
Van der Werf Park is a perfect place to relax and recharge your batteries. It’s the ideal environment in which to enjoy a good book or a pleasant picnic on the grass. It is the result of the explosion of a gunpowder-laden ship in 1807, which pulverised a large number of homes. Where the homes had stood, a park was built, and a memorial stone was placed on the quay where the ship once lay moored, which can be seen from the park. In the centre of the park stands a statue of Van der Werff, the mayor of Leiden at the time of the Relief of Leiden.
