Amersfoort Heritage Trail
Amersfoort’s well-preserved medieval center is anchored by the dual land and water gate of the Koppelpoort and the 98-meter-tall Onze Lieve Vrouwetoren. This heritage trail spans centuries, from the prehistoric Grafheuvel Monnikenbosch to the defensive remains of the 14th-century city walls. Significant landmarks include the Gothic Sint-Joriskerk and the sprawling Belgenmonument, while the Kamp Amersfoort National Monument provides a solemn look at the city's World War II history.
