Huldtoneel, Medieval inauguration site in Heemskerk, Netherlands.

The Huldtoneel consists of an artificial hill with a three-sided stone monument located near Rijksstraatweg 201 in northern Heemskerk.

During the Middle Ages, this elevated ground served as the official location where Counts of Holland received their recognition as Lords of Kennemerland.

Archaeological excavations in 1863 uncovered pottery, burnt bones, and iron remnants, suggesting the hill's earlier function as a Roman-era burial ground.

The monument contains two separate protected elements: the archaeological layer of the hill registered as rijksmonument 45436 and the stone structure as rijksmonument 21209.

The site first appeared in records in 860 under the name Schupildhem and received its legal protection status on November 17, 1967.
