Itinerary
The Walstraat is one of the most charming and lively streets in Deventer. Just outside the hustle and bustle of the Brink, you’ll immediately notice a completely different atmosphere: calmer, more creative, and slightly alternative.
In the heart of the atmospheric Bergkwartier lies the Bergkerk. The Bergkerk is currently freely accessible between 11:00 and 17:00 and is used as a cultural hotspot from art exhibitions to concerts. Feel free to step inside when the doors are open.
The Brink is without a doubt the most famous and lively square in Deventer. This is where everything comes together — history, atmosphere, and gezellig Dutch vibrancy.
In this narrow alley you’ll find a special mural that takes you back to the time when Deventer was a bustling Hanseatic city. On the wall you can see a lively market scene, with traders, goods, and references to products the city is famous for such as the well-known Deventer koek . On the route you will see more beautiful murals that tell the story of the city.
In the heart of Deventer you’ll find the Proosdij, a remarkable medieval building often mentioned as one of the oldest residential houses in the Netherlands.
In one of the atmospheric streets of Deventer you’ll find a striking historic building: the Sajetbaal. The building dates back to 1644, making it a centuries-old part of the city’s streetscape.
Beautiful old building, defenitly worth a visit! As it is the local tourist information, you will find sourvenirs and information about the city.
