The map
About this Amersfoort map poster
Amersfoort, in the province of Utrecht, has one of the best-preserved medieval centres in the Netherlands, and it is especially clear on a map. The old town is an oval enclosed by two rings of canals. The inner ring follows the line of the first city wall, and the outer ring follows the later fortifications. Around them, nineteenth- and twentieth-century districts spread out in all directions.
Two landmarks give the centre its character. The Koppelpoort is a combined land and water gate where the Eem leaves the old town, and the tall tower of Onze Lieve Vrouwe rises in the middle. That tower long served as the reference point for the Dutch national coordinate grid. Along the inner canal, the Muurhuizen are houses built into the remains of the first wall.
An Amersfoort map poster puts those concentric rings at the centre of the composition. Beyond them lie the railway junction, the curved streets of postwar neighbourhoods and the newer planned districts on the edge, such as Nieuwland and Vathorst. The contrast between the compact medieval oval and the looser modern city is the core of the image.

Koppelpoort water gate
On the northern edge of the old town, the Eem passes beneath this fortified gate. It is where the canal system meets the open river.
The Muurhuizen
A curving row of houses follows the line of the first city wall. On the map it appears as a continuous arc just inside the canal ring.

Why Amersfoort
A map that means something
Amersfoort's centre is a rare case where the history of a city is legible straight from its plan. That makes it a good choice for people who live there, studied there or simply enjoy seeing how old towns were built.
Add a title, a date or the coordinates line, and choose from Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Blueprint suits the precise, engineered look of the canals, and Paper gives the old town an atlas-like quality.
