Guided tour

It has been said that history is written by the victors. In this new program, students discover not only the stories of the winners, but also those of the losers of the Siege of Alkmaar. Some famous heroes of the siege are subjected to a factcheck; when do these heroes first appear in historiography and ... did they really exist?

Students also investigate what can be found in historical sources about the losers of the Siege. Did all Alkmaar citizens support the resistance? And what was the fate of the city's Catholic inhabitants?

City Walk

During a short city tour, students will look for traces of winners and losers.
Students visit both Stedelijk Museum Alkmaar and Regionaal Archief Alkmaar, with a short city walk of about 1.5 km in between.
