Het Hof was an Augustinian monastery where in 1572 a notable meeting was held of representatives of the "Free States" who were revolting against King Philip II of Spain. Since 2015 it has been a museum.
Church of the Augustins
Built around 1293, it is owned by the Dutch Reformed Church. The church was part of the Augustinian Monastery Het Hof (see above).
A cast-iron bridge over the Wijnhaven/Voorstraatshaven built in 1851.
Built around 1495, it is one of the oldest houses in the county. Now it's a conference venue.
The larger synagogue of the city used to stand here, which presumably formed the centre of the local Jewish population (apparently over 300 people prior to the war), but it was heavily damaged by the Nazis, sold in 1947 and razed in 1965. Nothing remains except new buildings, which are out of character from the surrounding old architecture.
Loads of locally affiliated oil paintings, mostly pre-modern and of impressive quality. These are interspersed with occasional bits of decorative metalwork, furniture and such. A dedicated gallery houses temporary exhibitions which are often very well presented. The impressive garden outside offers a cafe/restaurant with an extensive menu.
