Guided Tour: Traces in the House

Discover the medieval walled houses at Museum Amersfoort
Step into the history of Museum Amersfoort and discover the extraordinary stories hidden within the museum’s walls.

Museum Amersfoort is housed in three late-medieval walled houses on Breestraat. During this guided tour, you’ll discover how these historic buildings came to be and what traces of the past are still visible today.

Muurhuizen is one of the most remarkable spots in the historic city center. The first city wall of Amersfoort once ran along this street. As the city grew at the end of the fourteenth century, a new city wall was built. The old wall made way for homes, giving rise to the distinctive street we know today.

During the guided tour, you’ll walk through the museum’s three historic houses. You’ll see authentic architectural features, discover how the houses have changed over the centuries, and hear the stories of the people who lived and worked here. This way, you’ll experience how the city’s history is still visible in the buildings themselves.

The guided tour starts at 1:30 p.m. On September 15 only, there will be a one-time tour at 11:00 a.m.
