About Escape Tour gorinchem

Next to Gorinchem, you will find Slot Loevestein. The place where traitor Hugo de Groot and his entire family were locked up in 1621. Elsje, the maid, also stayed in the castle. She was allowed to leave the castle to buy books for Hugo in Gorinchem. A lot of books, with crates.


This gave them an idea... Could Hugo leave the lock in a book chest? It was worth a try. Hugo hid in a chest and went with Elsje to Gorinchem. Once there, he immediately merged into the crowd. When the soldiers of prince Maurits discovered that Hugo had disappeared, they immediately raised the alarm. The city was locked down. Had Hugo's escape attempt failed after all?
