About Assendorp
Where to stay in Assendorp
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Melkmarkt and Diezerstraat set the terms. Assendorp's record reaches into the Zwolle core, where the protected houses at Melkmarkt 48, Zwolle and Diezerstraat 38, Zwolle are entered on the same list as Museum de Fundatie and the Broerenkerk, and that is the side holding the rooms. The district files none itself.
A bed taken for the Stedelijk Museum Zwolle or the Plantagekerk works from either end, because both belong to the roll Assendorp shares with the city.
About Assendorp
What are the main landmarks in Assendorp?
Churches carry the count. The Grote of Sint-Michaëlskerk, the Basiliek van Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-Tenhemelopneming, the Broerenkerk, the Dominicanenkerk, the Waalse Kerk, the Plantagekerk and the Doopsgezinde Kerk all appear on the list Assendorp shares with Zwolle. Museums follow.
Museum de Fundatie, the Stedelijk Museum Zwolle and ANNO are entered as well, with the Vrouwenhuis, Het Witte Kruis and the Indië-monument closing the roll.
What is the history of Assendorp?
Dates cling to the buildings. Assendorp has no founding year on its file, so the older record sits with the Bethlehemklooster, the Vrouwenhuis and the Emmanuëlshuizen, houses Zwolle keeps under protection rather than under any date the district can claim. The Indië-monument stands apart.
Huis met de Hoofden, Zwolle and the house at Praubstraat 19, Zwolle belong to the same protected list, as does Burgemeester van Roijensingel 2, Zwolle.
Where is Assendorp?
Assendorp is one of Zwolle's districts, and its landmark list runs from the houses on Melkmarkt to the Grote of Sint-Michaëlskerk in the old core.
