Highlights Zutphen

Broederenkerk LibraryIn Zutphen there is a former monastery church, which  has been converted into a beautiful library in the Broederenkerk and  was renovated in 2017.

In the Middle Ages, this hall served as a butcher’s house, later as a court, prison and butter hall. If you look at the heavy beam construction, it looks like an upside-down ship is hanging. 

National Monument Ruins BerkelpoortBeautiful water gate that connected two settlements on the banks of the river De Berkel in the 14th century and is part of the city walls of Zutphen.

Oude Bornhof
The oldest farm in Zutphen is the old Bornhof. Thanks to generosity, many inner courtyards were created. A number of them have been preserved in Zutphen. The Oude Bornhof at Zaadmarkt is one of the most visited courtyards in the city visited by tourists.
