HCL
The ‘Historic Centre of Leeuwarden’ (HCL) is the information and activity centre, and the base for knowledge about Leeuwarden. Thousands of metres of historic documentation from the Middle Ages through to the modern day are housed here, and can be accessed by anyone who is interested. Anyone that would like to find out anything about the history of Leeuwarden, or its former inhabitants, can get in touch with the HCL to utilise its archives.
The HCL also has a group of enthusiastic guides who are more than happy to tell of the fascinating history that the city has. The walking tours cover loads of city monuments, old waterways, scenic stately homes; and forgotten back streets.
