Step inside one of Amersfoort's most extraordinary historical sites. The Men's Hall from 1536 is part of the more than 600-year-old St Pieters en Bloklands Gasthuis and, with 22 original bedsteads, is a rare preserved example of social care from earlier times.
Stories from former residents, changing exhibitions in the chapel and historical role-playing games bring this unique location to life. The carefully made-up bedsteads, centuries-old furniture and authentic atmosphere show how people lived here for generations. You can even experience how people used to sleep in a specially decorated box bed.
Meet the residents
Every Saturday from 4 April to 31 October (except 12 September), Stichting Levende Historie brings the year 1907 to life in the Mannenzaal. Meet residents who spent their last years of life here and discover their stories of poverty, togetherness, rules, hope and small moments of happiness.
