Morspoort

Investigate a wealth of cultural heritage from every continent and learn about the traditions, art and religions that make human culture so diverse.

Once full of cattle and sheep for sale, this pretty square overlooking a canal is now the starting point for canal boat cruises and a great spot for morning coffee.

The past comes alive at Lieden’s National Museum of Antiquities, where you’ll explore cultures of the ancient Egyptians, the Romans, Greeks, Syrians and Persians.

The classical building by the canal is where merchants once sent their goods to be weighed before market. These days it’s a music venue and gallery.

The history of this Gothic medieval church is intertwined with that of the pilgrims who lived and worked in Leiden for many years before migrating to America.

Molen de Put is just one of the places to see in Leiden, so why not enjoy the other things to explore during your travels? Discover the area's fascinating museums, or seek out its local tours.
