Folly Art Norg 2024

About this activity.

In a world where everything must have meaning, a folly offers you a moment of reflection.

Discover 21 unique follies in the beautiful Drenthe landscape. These “functionless” structures combine architecture, art, and nature in an enchanting walking route of approximately 7.5 kilometers.

The term ‘folly’ comes from the English word ‘fool,’ meaning crazy, foolish, or absurd. Folly Art Norg plays with the concept of folly, as these are temporary structures, unlike the real follies in the world. There is also a fine line between a folly, art (in public spaces), architecture, and land art. That’s why the word Art is added to Folly. Folly Art Norg offers people the opportunity to become acquainted with the concept of folly and form their own opinions about the structures they encounter along the walking route.

Get your information guide with a route map at the info point (Dorpshuisstraat 1 in Norg) for €15 and enjoy unlimited access to the route. The follies can be admired at any time of the day.

During the weekends, live music and meet & greets with the creators add extra atmosphere. Don’t miss this unique experience and be surprised by the magic of Folly Art Norg!
