Amersfoort's Essential Heritage

Amersfoort’s medieval history is defined by its concentric layout and well-preserved fortifications. This collection highlights the 14th-century Koppelpoort gate and the 98-meter-tall Onze Lieve Vrouwetoren. The list includes surviving sections of the city walls, the Gothic Sint-Joriskerk, and the Kamperbinnenpoort. Beyond the historic center, it features the National Monument Kamp Amersfoort, a WWII memorial site, and the modern Eemhuis cultural center, documenting the city's evolution from a fortified settlement to a contemporary cultural hub.
