Description
Follow in the footsteps of the Romans in Woerden! Discover the Roman exhibition in the Woerden City Museum and walk along the northern border of the Roman Empire.
Roman Woerden
Soon you will pass Stadsmuseum Woerden. Here, an entire floor is dedicated to the Roman roots of this city, which was founded around the year 41 as a castellum called Laurium. For example, you will see a parade helmet, bronze oil lamp and a sword, but also a unique asparagus knife. Worth a visit!
Woerden Castle
Around the Markt you will see several beautiful buildings, such as the beautiful fourteenth-century Petruskerk. From the Prins Hendrikkade you look out over a former part of the fortress: the Defensie-eiland. A little further on you will pass the beautiful fifteenth-century Kasteel Woerden. You then walk into the Brediuspark, a former estate. The Oude Rijn leads you back into the city: this river was once the northernmost border of the Roman Empire. It is now difficult to imagine that Romans once patrolled here in full regalia!
