About the venue

The Gevangenpoort on the Buitenhof in The Hague is a medieval gatehouse-turned-prison dating from the 15th century. It gained notoriety as the site where Johan and Cornelis de Witt were lynched by a mob in 1672. Today it operates as a national museum focused on the history of punishment and imprisonment in the Netherlands.
