Experience Jacoba of Bavaria's Years in Gouda

StoryTrail Theater Walk through Gouda on Sunday, October 25:

Counts and countesses, the Hoeken and Kabeljauwen families, knights and archers: you’ll encounter them all during the StoryTrail Theater Walk through Gouda on Sunday, October 25. City storyteller Godefridus will be your guide. He’ll take you back six centuries in time, to the Gouda of Jacoba of Bavaria. 

 

Jacoba was a unique figure in 15th-century Holland. She was one of the few women who held her own in a male-dominated world. In 1425, Gouda Castle became her headquarters. From there, she went into battle against her enemies. 

How did she fare? And what fortunes—both good and bad—did this fiery woman bring to Gouda? Storyteller Godefridus brings it all to life for you—so vividly that it feels as if you’ve suddenly found yourself transported back to the 15th century. Come along and enjoy a unique city walk: a shared, historical, and unforgettable experience.
