Tour of the Hanseatic city of Kampen

Kaarsenmakerij de IJsselhoeve is a daytime location in Kampen. From here you can take a nice walk through the Hanseatic city of Kampen. Kampen joined the Hanseatic League in 1441. In this alliance, several cities worked together to ensure that trade went as smoothly as possible. Kampen had a lot of influence. For example, a bridge was built over the IJssel, so that Kampen would have more ties with the hinterland. Other Hanseatic cities disagreed. In the center you will find beautiful buildings such as the old town hall from the 14th century, city gates, museums and pleasant shopping streets. On the other side you walk past the Philadelphia care location Zoddepark. Look back from the other side of the river, you will have a beautiful view of the Bovenkerk, a cruciform basilica whose construction began in the twelfth century.
