History of slavery in The Hague

Many people think of the history of slavery in the Netherlands in terms of trading city Amsterdam or port city Middelburg, but The Hague played a central role in the establishment, maintenance and abolition of slavery from as early as the 17th century. Traces of this history are still visible in the streets of The Hague. Several locations remind us to this day of the slavery past and are part of this guided city walk.
