The prison tower formed the Gevangenpoort in Megen with another tower. Entrance gate of the fortified town and a prison.

The characteristic fortified town of Megen is a must visit for anyone with an interest in religious heritage. With two monasteries still in function, you will find many monumental buildings with atmospheric squares, pretty gardens and "Nice and friendly restaurants" in Megen. Not surprisingly, several artists have settled in the old town centre (with protected townscape).

Looking for history, heritage and culture? Book a city walk through Megen and not only unwind in the cosy and convivial atmosphere, but also discover where the leader of the Gang of Oss was once locked up...
