The pride of Amersfoort: at 98 meters, the Tower of Our Lady is one of the tallest church towers in the Netherlands. Since the 15th century, it has been the city’s defining landmark. For centuries, surveyors measured distances across the country from this very spot, which is why the tower is often called the geographical heart of the Netherlands.
The Koppelpoort is one of Amersfoort’s most unique landmarks – a medieval city gate from the 15th century that combines both land and water access. With its towers, drawbridge, and fortified walls, it once protected the city against invaders. Today, it’s a beautifully preserved symbol of Amersfoort’s rich history and a true highlight of any city walk.
Step into the birthplace of Piet Mondrian and explore the life and work of one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. The museum takes you on a journey from his early landscapes to the world-famous abstract paintings of lines and primary colors. An inspiring place where you can discover Mondrian’s roots and experience his impact on modern art.
St. George’s Church is the heart of the city and one of the largest late Gothic churches in the Netherlands. Built in the 13th century, it has grown over the centuries into an impressive monument. Inside, you’ll find stunning vaulted ceilings, stained-glass windows, and artworks that reflect Amersfoort’s rich history. Today, it’s still a place for reflection, music, and culture.
The Muurhuizen, or Wall Houses, date back to the 14th century. When Amersfoort expanded, the first city wall was torn down and its stones were reused to build houses along the line of the old fortifications. Many of these buildings still stand today, making the street a unique example of medieval urban development in the Netherlands.
Museum Flehite is housed in three historic 16th-century wall houses along the old city canal. The museum tells the story of Amersfoort’s history and art, from medieval times to the present day. Its collections include paintings, maps, and archaeological finds that bring the city’s rich past to life.
