Exhibition: 100 Years of Moederhuis
On October 15, 1926, the new “ town hall ” at Leidseweg 25 was officially opened and began operations. On Saturday, September 12, 2026, we will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the “Moederhuis” with a special one-day exhibition titled “100 Years of Moederhuis.”
On June 25, 1946, the sisters Zwaantje, Alida, and Roelina Pen were married
During the exhibition, you’ll take a trip back in time. In addition to historical images of the building’s design and architecture, you’ll learn more about the wood carvings in the council chamber that were never completed. You’ll also see historical wedding photos of couples who have exchanged vows in the council chamber over the years. The exhibition takes place during Open Monument Day and the Voorschoten Weekend. The exhibition is open to the public starting at 11:00 a.m. The doors close at 4:00 p.m.
