Enjoy Amersfoort and surroundings

There is plenty of cultural history to discover in the old center of Amersfoort. In the rural area, polders and forests alternate. A wonderful moment to switch back and enjoy the peace.

Spakenburg harbour
Spakenburg is a former fishing village on the Zuiderzee. You cycle along the old harbor, which enjoys a protected village view. At the Oude Schans you will pass the monumental former fish smokehouse from 1877. The building houses a museum. You can also see some beautiful buildings in old Bunschoten, such as the monumental Eemlandia, a former dairy factory from 1918.

Soester Kerkebuurt
Soest originated as a ribbon village on an offshoot of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug, the Soester Eng. At the foot of this is the old church from 1350. The area around the church is truly a picture, and it is not without reason that it is considered a protected village view.

Keistad Amersfoort
Besides being cozy, Amersfoort is also rich in history. You can see the medieval history of the city in the many monuments, streets and canals. The famous Amersfoortse Kei, a boulder, can be found on the corner of the Stadsring and the Arnhemsestraat. The fifteenth-century Onze Lieve Vrouwetoren is literally the biggest eye-catcher. At 98 meters it is the third highest church tower in the Netherlands. The accompanying church was lost in an explosion in 1787.
