Description
Haarlem is a city of historic buildings. We will hence start this live-streamed, interactive Online Experience at the windmill De Adriaan (1779), which was built on the remains of a middle-aged watchtower of the ancient city walls. Across the bridge, in the Old Centre, I will show you several middle age houses in the old Begijnhof, the Waalse church built by the first French protestants who came to the Netherlands, the Jewish neighbourhood and a memorial dedicated to the victims of WWII. Also on our watchlist will be Backenesser Hofje, one of the forty oldest courtyards of Haarlem.
Walking along the mesmerising Backenesser Canal, we will reach Gravestenenbrug, the Weight House. Towards the end of the tour, we will arrive at the big market square and admire the monuments such as the St Bavo Church, Laurens Coster Statue (inventor of movable type), the oldest house, the Fish Hall and the Meat Hall. I will walk down to the end of the square at the old City Hall, where we will finish our tour.
