Open Day · For castle towns, councils and heritage trusts

Your castle's history, told where it happened.

Your castle has watched over the town for centuries: its walls, its great hall, its gardens and the people who lived and worked there. On myTuur you tell that history yourselves, in official tours under your own name, at the places you choose.

Open Day · 01 · Three towers

Your history, under your own name.

On myTuur your town appears under its own name, and three things stay entirely in your hands.

Your words

Official tours and spots

You publish tours and spots yourselves, in your own words and under your town's name. The town that grew up beneath the castle is the one telling its story.

Your places

Stories in the right spot

You decide where a story greets your visitors: at the gatehouse, in the great hall, or by the stage below the walls.

Your gate

QR codes with your own mark

Visitors come in through your own branded QR codes: at the ticket window in the gatehouse, on the open-air theatre poster, at the foot of the castle path.

Open Day · 02 · Passed on

Told, not kept behind glass.

A castle lives on in the stories of the people who lived there: the lady of the house, the gardener, the scullery maid. On myTuur it stays your telling, and it meets each visitor right where it happened.

How grandad told it

Up on the curtain wall every summer fair, and the siege got a little longer every year.

How a visitor finds it today

On the same stretch of wall, in your own words, even on a grey Wednesday in February.

Open Day · 03 · The castle year

The castle keeps its own calendar.

From the first blossom in the garden to carols in the great hall, your year has its own rhythm. The tours you publish are there for visitors in every season.

Free to download

Visitors download myTuur for free on iPhone and Android before they reach the castle gate. The app needs iOS 17 or later on an iPhone.

Works behind thick walls

Tours can be downloaded beforehand and keep working in the cellars, in the vaults under the great hall and up on the battlements.

Twenty-one languages

The app's interface comes in twenty-one languages, so a visitor from far away can still find their way around it.
