Elburg is a historic city in the Dutch province of Gelderland. Between 1292 and 1296 Elburg was rebuilt in the form it is seen today, with a moat and a city wall, together with the straight pattern of the street plan. This rapid rebuilding was expensive, indicating that Elburg was reasonably affluent in medieval times.

Great Church
The Great Church was rebuilt inside of the fortified city in 1397 when its bishop granted permission. It was renovated just half a century later. The church became a Protestant church at the end of the 16th century, and its tower's roof burnt away after being hit by thunder in 1693, leaving the church as it stands now.
City museum
Located in the house named after the man that rebuilt Elburg, Arent thoe Boecop, this museum does not display any organs that have once belonged to humans or animals. Instead, it features organs used to make music. Visitors are free to try them out.
Museum Sjoel Elburg is a story-telling museum about the (non-)average day-to-day life of the Jewish families that have lived in Elburg since 1700 and offers a historical perspective to a current theme: integration and tolerance.
