Leeuwarden

Leeuwarden has served as a trading and administrative centre in Friesland since the Middle Ages. The provincial capital stands amid the flat, canal-cut lands of the northern Netherlands, south of the Wadden Sea. Its leaning Oldehove tower is the unfinished remnant of a 16th-century church and one of the city’s most recognisable landmarks. Leeuwarden was European Capital of Culture in 2018; the Fries Museum and the everyday presence of the Frisian language alongside Dutch reflect its regional identity. Mata Hari was born here in 1876.
