@theladylux: Visiting slot Loevenstein today. Hugo and the Chest at Slot Loevestein: Hugo de Groot was imprisoned in Slot Loevestein in the 17th century. After spending several years in captivity, he made a daring escape. Hugo hid inside a large wooden chest that was normally used to transport books. The guards allowed the chest to leave the castle, not knowing that Hugo was inside. His successful escape in 1621 became one of the most famous stories in Dutch history. #History #slotloevestein #castle #fun #dutch
