Today, it serves as a private residence and occasionally hosts exclusive events, preserving its legacy as a place of beauty and refinement.
Plofhuis Fort Uitermeer
- 10m
Fort Uitermeer is a historic fort located just outside Weesp, along the river Vecht, and forms part of the UNESCO-listed Stelling van Amsterdam—a 19th-century ring of defensive forts built to protect the Dutch capital. Originally dating back to the 17th century, Fort Uitermeer was later expanded and reinforced with bombproof structures and a moat. Although much of the original fortress has weathered over time, its atmospheric ruins and natural surroundings make it a fascinating destination. Today, the site is accessible to visitors, offering a unique blend of military history, nature, and cultural events.
Rivier De Utrechtse Vecht (Pass by)
The Vecht river is one of the most scenic and culturally rich waterways in the Netherlands. Flowing from Utrecht to Muiden, where it meets the IJmeer, the river winds through charming villages like Nigtevecht, Loenen aan de Vecht, and Breukelen. Lined with historic estates, old drawbridges, and lush greenery, the Vecht has long been a favourite retreat for Amsterdam’s elite, especially during the Dutch Golden Age. Today, it’s a paradise for boating, cycling, and walking, offering peaceful views and a glimpse into the country’s architectural and natural heritage.
Molen de Vriendschap

Molen De Vriendschap is a beautifully restored windmill located in Weesp, near the Vecht river. Originally built in 1900, this traditional Dutch flour mill has become a cherished local landmark. The mill is still operational and regularly produces artisanal flour, keeping the craft of milling alive. With its elegant wooden sails and idyllic setting, De Vriendschap not only reflects the rich industrial and agricultural history of the region, but also serves as a symbol of community spirit and heritage. Visitors can often tour the mill and learn more about its history and function.
Rijksmonument Torenfort aan de Ossenmarkt uit 1861
- 10m
Fort Ossenmarkt is a small but historically significant fort located in Weesp, forming part of the Nieuwe Hollandse Waterlinie, a unique Dutch defence line that used controlled flooding as a strategic barrier. Built in 1861, the fort is notable for its round shape—a rare design among Dutch forts—and was intended to protect the bridge and access routes into Weesp. Surrounded by a moat and lush greenery, Fort Ossenmarkt blends military history with natural beauty. Though not always open to the public, the fort and its surroundings are a popular spot for walkers and history enthusiasts exploring Weesp's rich heritage.
Van Houten Kerk

The Van Houtenkerk is a striking church building in the heart of Weesp, named after the Van Houten family—famous for their pioneering role in the Dutch cocoa industry. Built in 1906 and designed in a neo-Renaissance style, the church was originally commissioned as a gift to the community by the Van Houtens. Though it no longer functions as a place of worship, the beautifully restored building now serves as a cultural and event venue. With its elegant architecture, stained glass windows, and historical charm, the Van Houtenkerk is a beloved landmark that bridges Weesp’s industrial past with its vibrant present.
