During Open Monumentendag – every second weekend of September – thousands of historical buildings and sites (about 4.000) are open to the public free of charge. Open Monumentendag in the Netherlands started in 1987 and is coordinated nationally by the Stichting Open Monumentendag. In recent years around 900,000 visitors have participated, making the Open Monumentendag one of the Netherlands’ premier cultural events.

The Open Monumentendag is part of an international organisation, the European Heritage Days. Forty-eight countries are affiliated with the European Heritage Days, which attracts around 20 million visitors every September and October, all keen to explore Europe’s cultural heritage.
