De Hanzeaat: Zutphen in scale and in play

De Hanzeaat in the Bourgonjetoren is an experience centre about the Hanseatic League. Interactive games, film and a scale model of the city offer different ways into the subject.

Plan your visit ↗

A city from above

The scale model depicts Zutphen in 1485. See how streets, water and buildings together form a picture of the city, and let the explanation clarify which choices go into making such a model.

Play alongside information

The Hanze games make it possible to actively engage with the subject. Use the accompanying explanation to understand the relationship between the game and the museum’s story.

The tower has a story to tell too

The story surrounding artillery and the Bourgonjetoren makes the building its own part of the presentation. The film De Maquettebouwer adds another perspective on how images of history are made.

Before you go

Check for extra opening days during school holidays. For groups and schools, contacting them in advance is advisable; ask about guidance and the accessibility of the route.
