About Soesterkwartier
Where to stay in Soesterkwartier
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
The quarter is housing first. Soesterkwartier's listed fabric is domestic, the middenstandswoningen blocks, the Frisiawoningen, a double cottage with its own horse stabling, so a stay here means a residential street rather than a hotel row, with central Amersfoort carrying the rooms. Hotels sit in central Amersfoort.
If a quiet base near the Westerkerk and De Oogst suits you, the quarter delivers exactly that.
About Soesterkwartier
What are the main landmarks in Soesterkwartier?
Three churches head the list. Westerkerk Amersfoort, the Bergkerk and Sint-Henricuskerk each carry protected status, and beside them the Israëlitische begraafplaats keeps a caretaker's house of its own on the register. Housing makes up most of the rest: five middenstandswoningen blocks, the Frisiawoningen, a double cottage with attached horse stabling, and the building called De Oogst.
Isselt rounds it off.
What is the history of Soesterkwartier?
The record here is a housing record. Complexes of middenstandswoningen went up in lettered blocks, A through F, with the Frisiawoningen among them, and that run of purpose-built housing is what gives Soesterkwartier its shape on the protected-monument list. Churches served the streets that resulted: the Westerkerk, the Bergkerk and Sint-Henricuskerk.
A congregation of sisters kept a house here as well, and the Israëlitische begraafplaats has its beheerderswoning listed alongside.
Where is Soesterkwartier?
Soesterkwartier forms one of Amersfoort's residential quarters, laid out in housing blocks around the Westerkerk and the Bergkerk.
