One of the best kept renaissance fortifications in the Netherlands is Elburg ('Old Fortress'). At the end of the 19th century the Jews of Elburg acquired a building inside the fortress and turned it into a synagogue. This building has now been reverted into a lovely museum with yearly renewed expositions. The Jews of Elburg were revered by the local population. Witness of this fact is the Jewish cemetery, which is located on the rampart opposite the St Nicholas church. Next to the Synagogue museum there exists a wonderful Elburg museum, which is located inside a former medieval monastery and an Organ museum, which is located inside a Renaissance town castle.
Very interesting place with a great history! Extremely nice people!! I wish more of the explanations were in English. If you go there, go see the Jewish semetery near by.
It was so sad to learn what had happened to the Jews of Elburg. Very hard experience. As a whole, Elburg is such a magical place, combining really old restorated town, with great food and designed stores, nice people, great second hand stores ,lovely places to take a walk. We went there on our last day and it was really so good
Friends suggested this visit because I love and support Jewish people and the nation of Israel. I'm very interested to learn about the Diaspora and life among Jewish communities outside of the Land of Promise. Excellent standard of film and exhibits and it was fascinating to have the history of Jewush families laid out, modelled and depicted within a synagogue. I wish I had allowed a full afternoon visit of 2-3 hours. Most of the museum is bilingual, Dutch / English. Thank you to all who have honoured the Jews in this way. We owe a debt to them for our salvation!
For the price I expected so much more. If I wanted to spend my afternoon reading, well I have a library for that. I was so looking forward to going and was to be honest overly disappointed in lack of anything to view. It was just endless text and recordings to listen to. Everyone has to put their bags in lockers, when everything they do have out is behind glass displays. Save yourself sometime and money and head to a library instead.
