- Опубликовано: 10 июл 2024
- Amersfoort is a city (and municipality) in the province of Utrecht, Netherlands. The city centre (the medieval city) is full of historic buildings and streets.
Koppelpoort is a medieval city gate; completed around 1425, it combines land and water-gates, and is part of the second city wall of Amersfoort, which was constructed between 1380 and 1450.
Museum Flehite is the historical museum of Amersfoort and Eemland. The museum was founded in 1880 by the "Oudheidkundige Vereniging Flehite" (Archeological Association Flehite). In 1890, the museum moved to the first of the current three-part building on the Breestraat (Breestreet). Since 1976, the museum has been managed by a separate organization. The museum was closed in 2007 due to asbestos contamination and a large modernization, but the museum reopened in May 2009. museumflehite.nl/en/home/
Onze-Lieve-Vrouwetoren ('The Tower of Our Lady') is a church tower. The Late Gothic building is 98.33 metres (322 ft 7 in) tall and reaches high above the inner city. It is one of the most eye-catching monuments in town and the third highest church tower in the Netherlands. The nickname of the tower is Lange Jan ('Long John'). The church that belonged to the tower was destroyed by a gunpowder explosion in the 18th century.
Amersfoortse Kei. The nickname for Amersfoort, Keistad (boulder-city), originates in the Amersfoortse Kei, a 9-tonne (19,842 lb) boulder that was dragged from the Soest moors into the city in 1661 by 400 people because of a bet between two landowners. The people got their reward when the winner bought everyone beer and pretzels. Other nearby towns then nicknamed the people of Amersfoort Keientrekker (boulder-puller). This story embarrassed the inhabitants, and they buried the boulder in the city in 1672, but after it was found again in 1903 it was placed in a prominent spot as a monument. There are not many boulders in the Netherlands, so it can be regarded as an icon.
Monnikendam is the southern medieval water gate of the second city wall.
Dieventoren is the only surviving tower of the city's oldest perimeter wall. After the construction of the second city wall, the tower was converted into a city prison, hence the name (dieven = thieves, toren = tower).
Kamperbinnenpoort is a land gate that was part of the first city wall of Amersfoort. It is one of the remaining vestiges and the structure can still be seen in the 'muurhuizen' (houses next to the gate).
Sint Joriskerk (Church of Saint George) is situated on the main square (called 'Hof'). In 2011 a complete restoration of the interior of the St Joris church was finished.
Eemplein (square) is a shopping area on the south bank of the river Eem and just out of the medieval city. Eemplein has a cinema, a big supermarket, fast food restaurants and it host the main library and cultural centre of Amersfoort.
Belgenmonument is a gift from the Belgians to the Netherlands as a thank you for sheltering many refugees from Belgium during the First World War. The monument is located in the vicinity of the former refugee camp Elisabethdorp.

Amersfoort most outstanding town in Netherland, full of beauty and charm!!👍
Tomorrow we will visit Amersfoort, it is wonderful to be part of this society!
I just moved in and was welcomed very warmly. My active support is very much appreciated. I feel very comfortable!
The Netherlands has so much more to offer than intoxication! 💋✌️🇳🇱
I've been here a lot in the past, when I first time visited Holland I was 18, I thought 'one day I'll live here' now it's 18 more years later it’s that time! In the past it was curiosity that brought me here, but the fascination for this nation remained and brought me here again! Now that a high could be legally acquired just around the corner, I'm not even interested in it any longer! Since I've been here, I've been sober and don't feel the need for it either! I just want to stay here forever!❤️
