In the heart of Nieuwpoort, a charming fortified town located in the Alblasserwaard, stands the historic town hall, a building that testifies to the town's resilience and rich history. Situated on the banks of the river Lek, this striking building tells the story of Nieuwpoort, where water has always played a crucial role in the city's development.

Within the walls of this old town hall is Museum Nieuwpoort, where visitors of all ages are taken on an interactive journey through time. The museum focuses on the turbulent periods of battle, destruction and occupation that the city endured, with a special focus on the disaster year 1672. This year marked a turning point in Nieuwpoort's history when it became part of the Old Dutch Water Defence Lines, a line of defence that played an important role in protecting against invasion.

The museum offers an engaging exhibition that brings history to life using authentic documents, artefacts and stories that not only inform but inspire visitors. It allows us to understand how past events shaped the city into what it is today.
