Summer at Loevestein
Run around the fortress, try your hand at archery like a castle archer, take part in knightly games and discover how children used to spend their free time. During the summer holidays, Slot Loevestein is transformed into one big play fortress where history comes to leven . From 4 July to 30 August, everything revolves around spelen through the ages.

At the weekend during the holidays, the stories of Loevestein literally come to leven. Visitors will meet knights, archers and other inhabitants from days gone by. There will be medieval encampments, archery lessons from the castle archer, a school of chivalry, a live game of Stratego, shadow theatre and treasure hunts. This makes a visit to Slot Loevestein this summer an adventure in which history is not just told, but, above all, experienced first-hand.
