Mustard making
Hanseatic town
Fortified centre
Inside the Mosterdmuseum / Mosterdfabriek the old trade of Doesburg is still at work: this little Hanseatic town on the right bank of the IJssel was once an important place for making mustard. Above the rooftops rises the tall tower of the Martinikerk, a reminder of the wealth the town enjoyed in the Middle Ages.
What makes Doesburg special is that time almost stood still. Officially a fortress until the twentieth century, it could not grow beyond its walls, and through a long, sleepy spell its historic centre stayed intact. Today it is a protected townscape, full of museums such as the Streekmuseum De Roode Tooren and the Lalique Museum, with quiet courtyards like the Van Brakelhofje.
Newer neighbourhoods have since spread out beyond the old line, but the heart is unchanged. Whoever comes back after years away finds it just as they left it.
