The Muiderslot offers primary, secondary and special education students a unique learning experience in and around a real castle. The castle and its gardens also provide a wonderful setting for school trips, where pupils can explore history and nature in a unique and inspiring environment. Please note that our educational programs are currently offered in Dutch. If you are interested in an English-language program, please contact us to discuss the possibilities: reserveringen@muiderslot.nl

Our collaborations

The Muiderslot collaborates with schools, cultural partners and educational institutions in the region. We do this in part through our role as project leader of Culture with Quality. Together we develop programs that fit the curriculum and leave room for personal discovery. In this way we connect education, heritage and current themes.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need additional chaperones if I come with my class?

Yes, each program indicates how many facilitators are needed.

Is there room to eat a sandwich with students?

No food or drinks can be consumed during the program. Afterwards, the class can have their own brought food/drink outside on the grounds. Unfortunately, we do not have indoor space for this purpose.

How many students can we come at once?

The Muiderslot has employed guided theme programs to enhance a students’ experience.

  • Themed programs with workshop in the castle workshop are suitable for 1 class per time slot.
  • The interactive tour can take place with max 60 students simultaneously per time slot (4 groups of max. 15 lln).
  • The large group programs are for groups of 45-90 students. Students are accompanied by their own supervisors.

What is the Muiderslot’s vision for education?

Our interactive educational programs connect with students’ experiences. They combine knowledge with experience and invite them to make connections between then, now and later. Students explore with all their senses and are given room to ask questions and discover for themselves.

How many companions are allowed?

It depends on the chosen program. By default, we count on 1-2 facilitators per half class (max. 15 students). Larger groups of programs require more supervisors. See the relevant page for this. For example, if there are more parents along because they are driving the children, these parents can walk around the castle independently, or have coffee in the Garden Room. Unfortunately, no more parents can accompany the groups, as this creates too many distractions for the group.
