Castellum Hoge Woerd | World Heritage Lower German Limes - Utrecht

The Lower German Limes has been a World Heritage since 2021 and formed the border of the Roman Empire in the Netherlands and Germany two thousand years ago. The Romans were in our country for some 450 years and left behind all kinds of traces. Not only did they lay the foundations for our infrastructure and alphabet, but many archaeological treasures have also been found along the Limes, which can be admired in our museums. Here you will find everything from everyday objects such as Roman coins and tools to larger traces such as the remains of forts, watchtowers and even Roman ships.

The modern Roman fort Castellum Hoge Woerd teaches you all about the archaeological finds in the area in an interactive way. In the museum, for instance, you can see a 2,000-year-old ship used by the Romans. And the spectacular archaeological top find: the Roman silver-plated
forehead band of an equestrian helmet. Get off your bike and go exploring!

Book a ticket for your visit via the website. Admission to the museum is free.
