Amersfoort

Amersfoort combines a compact medieval core with the practical energy of a modern Dutch city in a way that reflects its position on the River Eem in Utrecht province. The 15th-century Koppelpoort, an unusual gate combining land and water defences, remains the defining monument of the former ramparts. The Onze Lieve Vrouwetoren rises above the centre; its church was largely demolished in the 18th century, leaving the tower as a city landmark. Amersfoort is also the birthplace of Piet Mondrian, whose early life is explored at the Mondriaanhuis.
