Zutphen is a (Hanseatic) city in the province Gelderland and is located at the mouth of the Berkel river and the IJssel river. Nearby cities are Apeldoorn, Arnhem, Doesburg, Doetinchem and Deventer. The pronunciation of "Zutphen" is like "sütfen".
background
Zutphen originated in Roman times as a Germanic settlement. The place has been continuously inhabited for more than 1700 years, making it one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands. The name Zutphen comes from "Zuid venne" (Südfehn), a complex of river dunes in the middle of swampy pastures. After the IJssel area was incorporated into the Franconian Empire around 800, Zütphen became a count's administrative center.
At the end of the 9th century, Zutphen was destroyed by plundering Vikings. After that, the city was protected with a ring wall and triple canal. This fortification can still be seen in the street scene along the Groenmarkt, Houtmarkt and Zaadmarkt markets.
Zutphen is mentioned for the first time in a document from the years 1053-1071, in which the income of the abbey Corvey (Weserbergland) are listed. In 1101 the first Count of Zutphen is mentioned. In the course of the 12th century this county became part of Gelre, which was promoted to duchy in 1339. In 1190 Count Otto I von Gelre gave Zutphen city rights.
Many cities in Geldrian (including Arnhem, Doesburg, Doetinchem, Harderwijk, Lochem and Hattem, but not Nijmegen) derived the city rights they later acquired from those of Zutphen. The city was provided with a wall and in the 13th century with the Nieuwstad expanded. Zutphen's heyday was in the 14th century, when the capital of the county of Zutphen became a member of the Hanseatic League and made good profits from the Baltic Sea trade.
During the plague epidemic of 1349, all Jewish residents of the city and other cities on the IJssel were murdered. They were accused of poisoning the water because they were less likely to contract the plague. The real background was that because of their strict religious rules, they placed a greater emphasis on hygiene, e.g. B. Wash your hands more often.
The 16th century brought difficult times for Zutphen because of the flourishing of other cities outside of its own region and the 90 years war against the Spaniards from the last quarter of the century. Although the fortress was strengthened after the Geldrian Wars at the beginning of the century, in June 1572 the city was taken by a brother-in-law of the rebellious will of Oranje. He drove out the Spaniards who, however, recaptured the city on November 17th of the same year and had hundreds of residents executed. The occupations and sieges followed one another at a rapid pace. Most of the population fled or was murdered. In 1591 the city was finally conquered by the troops of the rebellious Protestants. Zutphen became a garrison and fortress town for a long time. In 1672 French troops managed to cross the great rivers and they also took Zutphen. Catholic masses were held again in the Walburgiskerk, but after the French left it was returned to the Protestants.
The Zutphen fortress was expanded several times over the next 200 years according to the latest state of the art. Although the city had no opportunities for expansion, the population grew steadily: from 7,500 inhabitants in 1795 to over 15,000 in 1860 on only 40 hectares of land within the walls. It wasn't until 1874, when the fortress was lifted, that the city was able to grow. The walls fell, but some remains are still visible: e.g. B. the Bourgonjebolwerk on the IJsselkade. Many traces of that time can still be found in the city center of Zuthen today.
At present, Zutphen is an important center of the judiciary. A regional court, the training institute for the administration of justice (SSR), a regional training center for the police, the police academy, an international conference center for the police in Warnsveld as well as the educational correctional facility JPC De Sprengen and the JVA PI Ooyerhoek.

It housed a machine factory until the 1970s and, after it had subsequently stood empty for a few years, the city wanted to demolish it for the construction of apartments.

Buildings
- Drug apostles, Drugsapsteeg. The drug ape storm, originally Saltpoort (Salt Gate), was built 1444-1446 as the city gate of Zutphen. It only served as such for a short time, as it was walled up as early as 1465. He then served, inter alia. the town musician Tonis Drogenap as an apartment and kept his name.
- Wijnhuistoren, Groenmarkt 40. The wine house tower is the tower of the municipal wine house. The multifunctional building, erected between 1618 and 1642, housed the city scales, a hostel, the city guard and the wine house. In 1644 the brothers Pieter and François Hemony, whose studio was in Zutphen at the time, installed the world's first purely tuned carillon on this tower. The "Vrienden van het Carillon" foundation organizes concerts in the summer months. Today are in that Wijnhuis (which had to be rebuilt after the war) housed a wine tasting room and several restaurants.
- Bourgonjetoren. The Bourgonje tower was built as a gun turret in 1457 with almost 4 m thick walls. The city walls in its immediate vicinity have been reconstructed in recent years.
- Berkelruïne. This water gate is part of the city wall and has been guarding the flow of the Berkel river into the city since 1320. It also connected the formerly independent settlement of Nieuwstad with the old town of Zutphen.
- Oud Raadhuis, 's-Gravenhof 2. Old wine bills show that there was a council or jury house at this point as early as 1571. The current building has existed since 1839 or 1716 (south wing) and served as the town hall of Zutphen until the 1990s. A new town hall has been in the immediate vicinity since 1999.
- Oskamstraatje. This little street is located between Bornhovestraat and Boompjeswal. Whoever runs through the gate and turns around, has a good view of the historical muurhuizen (Wall houses). From the 1660s onwards, mentally ill women were locked up in the wall tower. Presumably, a new one was built next to the tower from 1566 Dorenkast built for mentally ill men. Dorenkasten were mainly set up as mobile "toll houses" in hospitals, monasteries and with private individuals. In this case they served more as a permanent destination.
- "Dat Bolwerck", Zaadmarkt. In 1532, Duke Karl von Gelre commissioned the construction of a fortress for Zutphen. It should keep the citizens of the city in check and suppress insurgent thinking. But between 1537 and 1543 it was demolished and this house called "Dat Bolwerck" was built in its place in a transitional style from Gothic to Renaissance. An entrance is not recognizable, this was in the west gable, on which a transept was built at the beginning of the 17th century. Today the house is used by a wine shop. Next to the "Bolwerck" is the house "De Ruiter Kortegaerd" (1639).
- Huize van de Kasteele, 's-Gravenhof 6. The Duke of Gelre and his heir, King Philip II of Spain, once owned one. The latter designated it for a "good cause" in 1568 and designated it as an orphanage. This led to a new building in 1571. In 1733 it was extensively rebuilt and the monumental entrance gate also dates from this time. It takes its name from a 19th century owner: a rich timber merchant named Van de Kasteele.
- Agnietenhof. The Agnietenhof takes its name from the St. Agnes women's convent founded in 1397. The hofje should be inhabited "by spiritual virgins or women who wanted to serve God in seclusion and living in chastity." In addition to a pious life, the residents also engaged in handicrafts such as weaving, sewing, baking and brewing, as they were expected to earn their own living. In the 15th and 16th centuries, the convent became the richest of the six women's convents in the city. Under pressure from the guilds, dishonest competition from the monastic community was restricted by the authorities. The last residents left the complex around 1600, which has been preserved as a quiet oasis in the city.
- Luther's Hofje, Geweldigershoek 20. Whoever enters the Lutherischer Hofje thinks time has stood still. The houses with the identical windows, the water pump, the well-tended flower beds form a decor in which the past comes to life again. In the 19th century the Lutheran congregation in Zutphen considered it necessary to give needy congregation members a roof over their heads. For this purpose, the so-called Lutheran charity was built, originally 16 houses on the site of the Geweldigershoek. 14 apartments were built in the garden behind the house and two in the house itself.
- Oude Bornhof. The Alte Bornhof is located in the heart of the city and can be entered from the Zaadmarkt through a beautiful entrance gate. A certain Borro, a canon of the St. Walburg Church, stayed here from 1343 to 1347, which he later donated to the city for charity purposes. From 1611 onwards, arms were taken care of in Borro's house. This house still exists, the other houses were replaced by new buildings between 1876 and 1888.
- Woehrmannshof. This Hofje is the youngest in town. It has only existed since 1983, when the "Koninklijke Wöhrmann" printing company cleared its old premises in the city center. Some of the old houses on Kuiperstraat, Bakkerstraat and Waterstraat have been renovated and new houses have been built in place of those that are no longer preserved. The mix of historical and modern architecture gives this Hofje a specific character.
