Scenic introduction: The Amsterdam dungeon shows tragic events in the history of the Netherlands. It is full of live performances, such as the torture chamber. This is a lively performance throughout the dungeon. The torturers will hang the criminals and torture them, and they will also select young people. Visitors watch; there is the Dutch East India Company, which forced locals to join the seafaring trade in an 18th-century dockside bar; and the Ship Doctor, where visitors can witness the brutality of 18th-century sea surgeons. Plus, there are all sorts of other gory, horrific scenes here that make you shudder. In the Amsterdam dungeon, you can see: the doom of death, it is said that the great plague broke out in Europe in the 14th century, the whole plague brought down society, every family was full of death, the streets were filled with fear, no help and endless darkness. In the Amsterdam Dungeon, a robed giant, wielding a scythe, guides you step by step to doom! Here, a strange force forces you to feel the plight of the victims. You'll fall into darkness, travel through hell, and feel your own heartbeat as you're teased by death. The Council of Blood offers a glimpse into 16th-century Holland and its primitive methods of law enforcement, which surrounds everyone in fear. Violators are subjected to horrific punishments and sometimes torture such as cutting and burning. This leads to an extreme example - the Council of Blood (Council of Blood), created by Prince Alva in 1567. Some cases of suspected heretics or traitors were transferred to this special court, and their fate was sealed from then on, and some of these people were put on display in the Amsterdam dungeon. You'll be shocked when you see some of the barbaric atrocities undertaken by the Council of Blood. The Lost Labyrinth, Amsterdam before 1579, there are no lights on the streets to guide the citizens at night, the unlucky people will fall into the canals, drowning incidents are frequent, and people will often use vigil lanterns to walk through the darkness. Amsterdam Dungeon takes you through this lost labyrinth. Start your adventure! Dazzling labyrinths with twisty passages will inspire your adventurous spirit.
