Amersfoort, Historical city center in Utrecht, Netherlands

The city extends across 63.86 square kilometers with three railway stations, connecting major transportation routes from east to west and north to south.

The settlement received municipal rights in 1259 from Bishop Henry I van Vianden of Utrecht, marking its official establishment as a city.

The Mondriaan House preserves the legacy of painter Piet Mondriaan through exhibitions and educational programs about his artistic contributions.

Three train stations, Amersfoort Centraal, Schothorst, and Vathorst, provide direct connections to Amsterdam within 35 minutes and Utrecht within 15 minutes.

The Amersfoortse Kei boulder, transported to the city in 1661 through a citizens' wager, became such a symbol that residents now call their city Keistad.
