For special education

Special education groups are welcome at the Muiderslot.

Klas ridderzaal

Every student learns differently.

At the Muiderslot, we like to take this into account. We take special education into account in our educational programs and match the abilities, interests and needs of the students as much as possible. Experience shows that each visit is customized.

Please note that we work with half classes per museum docent. This allows us to give students enough individual attention in small groups.

In consultation we look at what fits: in the castle, in the gardens or a combination of both. Peace, space and clear structure are key.

Do you have questions or specific needs? Please feel free to contact us. Together we will see how we can make the visit as enjoyable and meaningful as possible.

Preparing for the visit

For some students, it is nice to know in advance what to expect. Therefore, there is an introductory video that can be watched in class. In it, students are introduced to the museum docents, the arrival and the route through the castle. Thus, the visit begins already in the classroom.

Why the Muiderslot?

The blossoms of the plum trees in the plum orchard. The sky is blue. The castle is in the background.

The Plum Orchard

Stroll past the plum trees and experience the atmosphere that inspired castle resident P.C. Hooft to write stories.
Een meisje bezoekt de riddelzaal van het Muiderslot, met schilderijen aan de muur, kroonluchters en marmeren vloer.

The Knights’ Hall

The beating heart of the castle. A place where feasting, sleeping, justice and writing took place. The oldest stage in the Netherlands. Be inspired by the story of the Muider Circle.
The Muiderslot. Surrounded by canals, gardens and vast wetlands.

The moat

Wet and cold. The moat kept enemies at bay and made it difficult to get close to the walls. Thus, the Muiderslot was well protected.

Do you also offer customized programs?

Most schools can handle our theme programs. Please contact reserveringen@muiderslot.nl if there are any specific requirements, such as joining a project week, etc.

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.
