About

The Corrie ten Boom House is a living memorial to the courageous Ten Boom family who risked their lives to shelter Jews during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. It is an intimate 19th‑century home that invites visitors on a free guided tour, led by volunteer guides passionate about sharing the family's story. The tour, which lasts about an hour and fifteen minutes, takes guests through the home’s original rooms, the hidden basement known as the Hiding Place, and the family photo gallery, where anecdotes of faith and hope come to life. With free admission and a small voluntary donation appreciated, the museum offers an affordable, emotionally resonant experience that sparks reflection on resilience, compassion, and the human spirit.
