In this largest courtyard in the city, you can enjoy the greenery, the tranquility and the view of the imposing Walburgis Church. The heart of the Oude Bornhof is Huize Borro, home of the wealthy clergyman Borro. This benefactor gave his house to poor old people. The striking entrance gate to the Zaadmarkt dates back to 1723 and bears the coat of arms of the regents of the time. Above the gate are sandstone statues of an old man and an old woman.

Beautiful gate that provides access to a courtyard, where nowadays there is a catering facility where you can enjoy a snack or a drink in peace, compared to catering establishments at the Zaadmarkt where it is often a bit busier.

Hiking

Zutphen has a great old town with many old buildings.
Small coffees and shops with that certain Dutch flair everywhere.
Sit down with a cup of coffee and let the lively hustle and bustle of people pass you by.
