Amersfoort is known as the hometown of Piet Mondrian, and it is therefore not surprising that there is a museum in the city dedicated to his work (Mondriaanhuis). The museum is located on the place where the renowned artist was born and he resided up until he was 8 years of age. Permanent exhibition in the Mondrian style and sometimes thematic exhibitions are also being held here. You will find it interesting to visit the Marienhof, where you can behold very interesting exhibits. Many of them are unique, and you cannot find anything like this anywhere else.
While wandering around Stadswal, you can see picturesque houses called Muurhuizen. These are old houses that some time ago adjoined the city wall. They were built around the 16th century. Despite the fact that the houses were built in the same style, each of the building has its own peculiarity – the roof is different in some, the windows are in some, and the towers may be missing in some. Another interesting square is known simply as Hof. This is the main square of the city. It is surrounded by ancient buildings. You can behold a fountain in the middle of the square – meaning you should definitely throw a coin in it to ensure you visit this place again. Also around are well-located cafes, restaurants and shops.
