Katerveer, Historic ferry settlement in Zwolle, Netherlands

The white Katerveerhuis building stands near the intersection of the Willemsvaart canal and the IJssel River at the western edge of Zwolle.

The Katerveer ferry service operated from the 10th century until 1930, connecting the provinces of Overijssel and Gelderland across the IJssel River.

The ferry settlement played a central role in regional transportation, marking the historical boundary between two Dutch provinces through its strategic river crossing point.

The area between the A28 motorway and the Old National Road from Zwolle to Hattem now encompasses the former Katerveer district.

The Katerveersluizen lock complex, constructed in the 16th century, remains an engineering achievement at the junction of the Willemsvaart and IJssel River.
