Visit the striking Ruiterstandbeeld Corbulo

Corbulo is the founder of Forum Hadriani, the current Voorburg. For over fifty years, his equestrian statue has watched over the surroundings! In 1964, Voorburg-based artist Albert Termote was commissioned to immortalise the general, and Termote clearly based his sculpture on Roman equestrian statues from the first century AD.

The statue makes for a a nice stop during a walk around town and is a lovely, artistic reflection of a unique piece of history. You can find more information about Forum Hadriani and the Roman period of the region in Museum Swaensteyn!

Startling activities

Natuurgebied Leidschendammerhout

In Natuurgebied Leidschendammerhout, Highland cattle grazes near the ponds and birds nest in the trees. In this extensive nature area, there are endless possibilities for walks and horseback rides. With the many kilometres of footpaths and bridlepaths, there’s a lot to experience for people and horses.

Neherpark Leidschendam

One of the most characteristic buildings in Leidschendam is definitely the Neherlaboratory. It’s now slightly hidden behind modern apartments, when viewed from the J.S. Bachlaan, but the complex still dominates the neighbourhood with its characteristic tower.
