An eagle perches on the rooftop of Museum de Fundatie, its wings spread wide over Zwolle’s ancient heart—every brick beneath concealing centuries of secrets and scandal.

Wander at your own pace through twisting lanes and grand squares on this audio tour, unlocking the hidden stories that even locals walk past without a second glance. Beneath your feet and above your head lies drama most visitors never imagine.

Who plotted betrayal in the shadow of the Grote Markt’s ancient facades? What vanished manuscript once sent shockwaves through De Librije’s hallowed halls? Which odd menu choice nearly unseated a powerful noble right here?

Move from vibrant public spaces to quiet corridors, following echoes of rebellion, lost masterpieces and whispered conspiracies. Each turn promises a new revelation, each stop shifts the way you see Zwolle forever.

Ready to follow the eagle’s gaze and unveil the mysteries below? Press play and begin.
