🇬🇧🇳🇱
Walk through medieval Nijmegen as seen by Mariken, a curious and rebellious girl from a famous miracle play from around 1500. You will climb old staircases, pass through hidden gates and stand before buildings that have stood for centuries. Along the way you will see the world as she did, torn between right and wrong, faith and freedom. This is not just a walk through the city. It is a walk through her story.

Storyline

Today you will meet Mariken. Mariken of Nieumeghen.
You might vaguely know her story, but today you will truly live what she once lived. To do so, you will need to step back in time, into the Middle Ages. As you approach the old city wall, the world around you begins to change. Outside the walls, the land is quiet, with only a few buildings. People walk past you. Some are travelling, others stop to chat. Can you find Mariken? She is somewhere near the wall.
