Leeuwarden Audio Tour: Statues, Spires, and Hidden Histories

Embark on the Leeuwarden Audio Tour: Statues, Spires, and Hidden Histories

A single stone in Leeuwarden’s Westerkerk hides centuries of whispered secrets and silent power struggles. This city is layered with more than meets the eye.

Take this self-guided audio tour through serpentine alleys and past grand facades to uncover hidden tales that most visitors never hear. Unlock a Leeuwarden built on intrigue, forgotten noble ambitions, and revolutionary spirit.

What happened the night the Crypt of the Frisian Nassau fell silent? Who really sowed chaos in the fields now known as Sowing land? Why does one street lamp burn longer than the others here—by royal decree?

Move through echoing chambers and sunlit courtyards. Trace the paths of rebels and visionaries. Each step draws you into little-known dramas and mysteries waiting just around the corner. See Leeuwarden’s soul, not just its surface.
