Amersfoort is a historically significant city in the province of Utrecht, located geographically near the exact center of the Netherlands. Granted city rights in 1259, it is home to one of the best-preserved medieval city centers in the country. A unique architectural feature is the 'Muurhuizen' (wall houses), built directly on the foundations of the first city wall after the town expanded in the 14th century. The city's landmark is the Koppelpoort, a combined water and land gate dating from 1425 that formed part of the outer defensive system. Amersfoort is also celebrated as the birthplace of the painter Piet Mondrian, and his childhood home now functions as a museum. In modern times, the city has evolved into one of the country's most vital railway junctions, which has significantly bolstered its economic growth. Today, Amersfoort is a lively hub for commerce, services, and culture, where historical heritage and contemporary progress coexist harmoniously.
The most pleasant time to visit is Jun–Aug.

The day starts at the foot of the Tower of Our Lady, with cobblestones glistening in the rain. We find dry shelter inside St. George's Church, admiring its historic interior. At midday, the narrow streets of Muurhuizen provide some wind protection as we head towards Koppelpoort. The afternoon is perfectly spent indoors at the Mondriaan House and Museum Flehite.

A frosty morning by the tower starts with a steaming coffee in hand. St. George's Church greets us with cool silence while the winter wind blows outside. At midday, the red bricks of Muurhuizen glow in the pale winter light. Koppelpoort looks like something out of a fairytale when touched by frost.
