The national organisation of Open Monumentendag 2022 has selected four buildings to promote this weekend. In a video series, with the theme 'Duurzaam duurt het langst' (Sustainability lasts the longest), special stories are shared behind monuments. ArsenaalDelft is highlighted by archaeologist Steven Jongma. "It is the old weapon storage of Holland. And now a beautiful hotel and restaurant (...) It is a unique piece of history, not only for Delft, but also for the Netherlands", he says. "When you are in a hotel room, you can still experience what used to happen here. (...) It is really worth a visit."
