Open Monument Day at the Freemasonry in Den Helder
During Open Monument Day, the Freemasons in Den Helder also open their doors. This day coincides with the annual Days of Freemasonry. A unique opportunity to get acquainted with a special place and body of thought.
A building with symbolism and meaning
The building is furnished with an eye for symbolism, particularly visible in the workshop. After the war, this space was designed by the architect Peters, fitting this year’s theme: Built to Stay.
For those who want to think freely, together with others
Freemasonry is for people who want to think for themselves. Without dogmas. You seek your own path, but not in solitude. Here you meet others who listen openly, dare to place opinions side by side, and give each other space.
What Freemasonry is and isn’t
Freemasonry is not a religion or an ideology. It is an association in which men and women work on personal growth, insight, and connectedness. Freedom, tolerance, and brotherhood form the core of this quest.
