Koppelpoort
Koppelpoort is one of the iconic monuments in the city. It is a medieval gate that is incredibly well preserved. You can catch sight of it from both inside and outside the city, but the view from outside the city is pretty much unparalleled. This striking 15th‑century gate spans land and water and defends the city with drawbridges and towers. It’s also one of Amersfoort’s most recognizable landmarks, with Eem River views that are picture‑postcard perfection. Tours reveal its cunning defense mechanisms and the history of medieval Amersfoort.
Mondriaanhuis
The Mondrian House exhibits nine naturalist works from Piet Mondrian's early period (1899-1908) at the museum. Housed in the birthplace of Piet Mondrian, this museum is an immersion in the life and art of the Dutch abstract pioneer. Exhibits trace his transition from landscape painter to De Stijl co-founder through immersive installations and reconstructions of his studios.
Onze Lieve Vrouwetoren
The Late‑Gothic tower is over 98 metres tall & the highest in the Amersfoort sky. Climb its 346 steps for panoramic perspectives on the city & surrounding countryside, and hear the story behind the Miracle of Amersfoort that led to its founding.
Hof Square
This is one of the most iconic squares in the city. The historic square is lined with coffee houses & eateries. The Hof is home to a vibrant market on Saturdays with fresh produce, flowers & Dutch treats. Get a terrace seat so you can people‑watch and take in the live music scene.
