Discover and experience Deventer

Next destination – the contemporary monumental town of Deventer that boasts many historical landmarks such as the Proosdij, the oldest brick-built residence in the Netherlands (twelfth century!). There are monumental buildings all around you, with stunning facades, historical churches and ancient squares. Proud to be the main attraction is the Lebuinus church, which is visible from far and wide. In other words, a town with a wealth of history, but is it old-fashioned? Far from it. Deventer is vibrant, frivolous and bustling: a contemporary-monumental town. Download the izi.Travel app on your smartphone if you want to have an audioguide.

De Brink is the monumental and central square in the old town of Deventer. Here are, among others, the Waag in which the Historical Museum of Deventer and the VVV are located, the Toy and Tin Museum, the house of Rutger Jan Schimmelpenninck, the former gatehouse Penninckshoek from 1583, and the house De Drie Heringen.
