Amersfoort
Amersfoort [ˈaːmərsfoːrt] is a municipality and the second largest city of the province of Utrecht in central Netherlands. The city is growing quickly but has a well-preserved and protected medieval centre. Amersfoort is one of the largest railway junctions in the country, because of its location on two of the Netherlands' main east-west and north-south rail lines. It marked its 750th anniversary as a city in 2009.
History
Hunter gatherers set up camps in the Amersfoort region in the Mesolithic period. Archaeologists have found traces of these camps, such as the remains of hearths, and sometimes microlithic flint objects, to the north of the city.
Remains of settlements in the Amersfoort area from around 1000 BC have been found, but the name Amersfoort, after a ford in the Amer River, today called the Eem, did not appear until the 11th century. The city grew around what is now known as the central square, the Hof, where the Bishops of Utrecht established a court in order to control the Gelderse Vallei (nl) area. It was granted city rights in 1259 by the bishop of Utrecht, Henry I van Vianden. A first defensive wall, made out of brick, was finished around 1300. Soon after, the need for enlargement of the city became apparent and around 1380 the construction of a new wall was begun and completed around 1450. The famous Koppelpoort, a combined land and water gate, is part of this second wall. The first wall was demolished and houses were built in its place. Today's Muurhuizen (wallhouses) Street is at the exact location of the first wall; the fronts of the houses are built on top of the first city wall's foundations.
The Onze-Lieve-Vrouwentoren tower (The Tower of Our Lady) is one of the tallest medieval church towers in the Netherlands at 98 metres (322 ft). The construction of the tower and the church was started in 1444. The church was destroyed by an explosion in 1787, but the tower survived, and the layout of the church still can be discerned today through the use of different types of stone in the pavement of the open space that was created. It is now the reference point of the RD coordinate system, the coordinate grid used by the Dutch topographical service: the RD coordinates are (155.000, 463.000).
The inner city of Amersfoort has been preserved well since the Middle Ages. Apart from the Onze-Lieve-Vrouwetoren, the Koppelpoort, and the Muurhuizen (Wall-houses), there is also the Sint-Joriskerk (Saint George's church), the canal-system with its bridges, as well as medieval and other old buildings; many are designated as national monuments. In the Middle Ages, Amersfoort was an important centre for the textile industry, and there were a large number of breweries.
In the 18th century the city flourished because of the cultivation of tobacco,[note 1] but from about 1800 onwards began to decline. The decline was halted by the establishment of the first railway connection in 1863, and, some years later, by the building of a substantial number of infantry and cavalry barracks, which were needed to defend the western cities of the Netherlands. After the 1920s growth stalled again, until in 1970 the national government designated Amersfoort, then numbering some 70,000 inhabitants, as a growth city. In 2009 the population was 140,000 plus, with an expected 150,000 by 2012.

The miraculous discovery of a statue of the Virgin and Child - Amersfoort 1444 The Netherlands
High Quality:
The miraculous discovery of a statue of the Virgin and Child, when in 1444, a young woman Geertgen Arents from Nykercken came to the town of Amersfoort to enter the Agnieten-Convent. Before passing through the town gate [Camp poort], she took a plain figurine of the Virgin and Child from her belongings and threw it in the water, because she was embarrassed to show the humble work to the sisters at the convent. A few weeks later, another woman, Griet Albert Ghisen, had three successive visions in which she was instructed to go to the canal by the town gate to rescue the Virgin Mary from the water. When she arrived there, the woman saw the discarded figurine lying under the ice which covered the flowing water. She fished it out and took it home with her. After she had told her story to the priest, the statue was taken to the Church of Our Lady of Amersfoort. Subsequently, various miracles attracted numerous pilgrims. Unfortunately, little is left of the miraculous figurine, making it difficult to describe or date it accurately. From what remains one can deduce that it was a very simple statue made of pipe clay.
A c.1525 panel painting, made for the church of Our Lady in Amersfoort, shows the miraculous discovery of the statuette in 1444, but the painter added a church tower, which was not finished until 1470, financed by the pilgrimage revenues.
