Gijzelaarskamp Beekvliet is a historical museum and documentation centre located in Sint-Michielsgestel, Noord-Brabant. The site preserves and interprets the history of the former Beekvliet camp, with a specific focus on the 1,276 Dutch hostages held there during World War II. Visitors can choose from multiple visit formats, including individual museum visits, smaller group itineraries for up to 15 people, and organised group visits for fifteen or more participants. Educational programmes at Beekvlietboerderij guide students through themes of democracy, civic responsibility, and social interaction.
