Top 12 Attractions and Activities in Doesburg, Netherlands
Even older than Amsterdam, Doesburg is a fortified city where the Oude IJssel converges with the Gelderse IJssel, a tributary of the Rhine. In Medieval times, trade along the IJssel flourished, making Doesburg the economic center of the Doesburg Quarter, part of the larger Zutphen Quarter. Due to silting on the IJssel in the 16th century, much of Doesburg’s most notable heritage dates from the late Medieval period, including the city hall, weigh house, and Church of St Martin (Martinikerk). The region has been producing mustard for over 500 years, with a dedicated museum and traditional dishes like mustard soup featured on local menus.
