00:30 The burgraves and the founding of the castle
06:39 From castle to luxurious city park

This videoguide covers the history of the castle / burcht around which the city of Leiden emerged around the year 1000. With drone footage, we show the important spots of the castle and bring you all known facts, for example about countess Ada of Holland, grave Willem I, the influence of Vikings on the burcht, and much more. We tried to factcheck as possible.
