Historic Amersfoort showcased in medieval houses
Museum Flehite in Amersfoort offers visitors an engaging journey through the city’s rich history and cultural heritage. Housed in three beautifully preserved late medieval wall houses along the Westsingel, the museum’s setting is as atmospheric as its collections.

The museum’s permanent displays cover centuries of local history, from medieval times to the present day. Highlights include paintings, historical documents, and objects that illustrate the city’s growth, its role in trade and defense, and the daily lives of its residents.
