Heritage Days in Dordrecht
During the Open Monuments Days on 10 and 11 September 2022, 70 monuments will open their doors wide for you and lay out a blue carpet! Never before have so many monuments participated, so this is your chance to take a look at places you would otherwise never or not so quickly visit!
Dordrecht sustainable city of monuments
Dordrecht has more than 1,000 monuments, several of which open their doors during the Open Monument Days. This year, the national Heritage Days theme is "Sustainability" and with that in mind, we are focusing on both buildings that are managed or restored in a sustainable manner, as well as monuments that are (or were) used for a sustainable purpose.
The program, the walks and the bingo are now available at the VVV. During the Open Monument Days also at the Grote Kerk, Augustijnenkerk and Buddingh. Everything can also be downloaded from this page.
