Stedelijk Museum Kampen

The collection has four main topics: water, religion, justice and the House of Orange-Nassau.

The building was built in the Lower Rhine Gothic-style so characteristic of the German Hanseatic towns: a rectangular shape, simple decorations and windows in arch niches.

On the south side was also the landing from which the city government announced decisions and where criminals were presented to the people.

Only the outer walls, vaults and a portion of the floor remained intact, but badly battered.

From left to right, they suggest: Charlemagne, Alexander the Great, Temperance, Faith, Justice and Charitas.

The permanent collection of the Stedelijk Museum Kampen has four main topics: water, religion, justice and the House of Orange.

The museum rooms on 'Governance' and 'Justice' show how Government and Justice worked in those early days.

The Stedelijk Museum Kampen has painted portraits of all the rulers and kings from the House of Orange-Nassau.

The Stedelijk museum also provides a tour which takes you outside past historical places and events in the city during one and a half hour.
