About this museum
Step back in time at Het Hof van Nederland in Dordrecht, a site of profound national significance where the foundations of the independent Dutch Republic were laid in 1572. Housed within a beautifully restored former Augustinian monastery, the museum offers a compelling journey through pivotal moments in Dutch history, from the First Assembly of the Free States to the Synod of Dordrecht and beyond. Explore engaging multimedia presentations, historical objects, and interactive exhibits that illuminate the ongoing quest for freedom and equality.
Plan your visit Wednesday to Sunday, from 11:00 to 17:00. Adult admission is €14, with reduced rates for children and youth, and free entry for holders of a Museumkaart, ICOM, Dordtpas, and other specific passes. Enhance your experience with an audio tour, available in both Dutch and English at the museum counter, providing deeper insights into the exhibits.
Reaching Het Hof van Nederland is straightforward. Enjoy a pleasant 15-minute walk from Dordrecht Central Station, or opt for a quick 'QBuzz' bus ride to 'Centrum Dordrecht' followed by a short 7-minute stroll. For a scenic arrival, consider the Waterbus, with the Hooikade stop just a 3-minute walk to the city center. If driving, convenient parking is available at city garages like P1 Parking Drievriendenhof/Dordrecht Centrum, located only 200 meters away.
