Mata Hari was born in Leeuwarden, and her restored birthplace now holds a small presentation centre about the dancer, courtesan and accused spy who became the city's most famous daughter. The story is part glamour, part tragedy, and it still clings strongly to the town.
The house is a short walk from the Mata Hari statue, so the two are easy to see together. Come for a quick dose of local history rather than a full museum visit.
