In this episode, an archaeologist and a YouTuber embark on a journey to delve into the dark past of Nijenborgh Castle in Weert—a place of power, betrayal and bloody conflict during the Eighty Years’ War. With unexpected archaeological discoveries, a revealing detail on a centuries-old painting, and a visit to Museum W, they unravel, step by step, who Count Van Horne was, why he was beheaded, and the brutal context around the mass grave on the castle grounds.
