During World War II the Ten Boom home became a hiding place for Jews and members of the Underground Resistance Movement. The living room looks still the same as it did during the war. In one of the bedrooms is the hiding place, a double sliding door in one of the wardrobes that led to a secret place. Corrie ten Boom wrote A Hiding Place, a moving story that gives a true account of those days. Guided tours by volunteers, admission is free, donations are appreciated. April – 31 October from 10 am – 3.30 pm November – 30 March from 11 am – 2.30 Closed on Sundays, Mondays and public holidays.
