In the historic heart of Egmond, close to the Castle Chapel and the Castle foundations, stands a seventeenth-century chapel that once served to store hay. Wreckage from stranded ships was used for construction and can still be seen in the cap room.
In this chapel you will find a gallery run by volunteers with great artistic ambition. Eight times a year they host a new exhibition and the artworks are beautifully displayed here. Graphic art is always in stock. The works on display are sold on a non-profit basis.
