The view from the IJssel on the harbour, the town quay and the historical buildings of Kampen were a source of inspiration for artists. The Hanseatic city of Kampen at the mouth of the IJssel was once strategically located at the Zuiderzee and was nicknamed "Rotterdam of the Middle Ages". Everything in the city reminds you of that time, such as the Old City Hall, the Cellebroederspoort and the Nieuwe Toren.
