WeijpoortNice place to visit,also with kids.
Built from 1321 to 1382 in the Gothic style and restored at the start of the 20C, this campanile influenced many of the country's bell towers. It is the highest one in the country. It was once linked by an arch to the nave of the cathedral but the latter was destroyed in 1674 by a hurricane which devastated the town. Its three stepped-back storeys rise elegantly to a height of 112m. The bells of the carillon are by the Hemony brothers. From the upper gallery there is a magnificent panoramic view over the town and the province.

Lovely restaurant, 1 Michelin star. A contemporary restaurant in Linschoten's old town hall, run by an ambitious team led by chef Spruijt. His excellent technique and keen eye for top-quality produce is evident in the dishes. The variety of tastes and textures is playful, intriguing and even more delicious in combination with the sommelier's choices.

Arts & Culture
Nice museum to visit, also with kids. The witches scales.
The scales are in the public weigh house, a Renaissance building with a stepped gable and brick mosaic tympanums. In the 16C, women suspected of witchcraft were brought here from afar to be weighed in the presence of the bourgmestre: if their weight was not too low in relation to their height, it was calculated that they could not sit astride a broomstick and they were acquitted... the last acquittal certificate dates from 1729! The storehouse now contains a museum on the history of witchcraft.

This brick-built castle (the largest in the Netherlands), is surrounded by a moat and was built in 1892 by the architect P.J.H. Cuypers in the neo-Gothic style. The main building, enclosed by towers, is linked to a large entrance gate by a covered bridge. The interior houses the collections of Baron Van Zuylen van Nyevelt, which include furniture, Flemish tapestries, Persian carpets, paintings and ceramics. Built on fragile foundations, the castle is starting to crack in places. An ambitious restoration project is planned to remedy this.
