Why visit

IJsselstein received city rights in 1331, and its old town still rings a small canal with the tower of a castle that stood here from 1300 to 1888.

Origins and history

IJsselstein takes its name from the Hollandse IJssel, which flows through the city. A castle stood here from 1300 to 1888 and its tower survived; inside the Protestant St Nicholas church, founded in 1310, are two medieval mausoleums.
