Audio Guide of Saint Walburgis Church of Zutphen

The church is open to the public from Tuesday to Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; Mondays and Sundays are reserved for religious services only. It is located in Zutphen’s historic center, about a 10-minute walk from the train station; check the official website for updates.

Admission is free, although voluntary donations for maintenance are appreciated. There is a fee of about 4 euros to climb the tower; check current prices on the official website.

A basic visit takes about 30 to 45 minutes, but if you climb the tower and explore the library, allow around 1 hour. It is ideal for a short stop during a tour of Zutphen.

Built between the 13th and 16th centuries, it is an impressive Gothic church with a 92-meter tower, famous for its 16th-century chained library and a historic organ. It represents Zutphen’s rich medieval heritage and has been the site of key events in Dutch history.

Spring (April to June) or autumn (September to October) offer good weather and fewer tourists; avoid summer weekends. Mornings are ideal for natural light through the stained glass and for smaller crowds.

The main access to the nave is accessible by ramp, but the tower and upper areas require stairs. Contact +31 575 512 546 or visit the official website for specific options.

Just a few minutes away on foot: the Gothic Town Hall, the Hendrik van der Kolk Museum, and the medieval center with its canals. Explore the tourist route at zutphen.com.

Climb the tower for panoramic views, wear comfortable shoes for the stairs, and download an audio guide if available. Bring a camera for the stained glass and combine your visit with a stroll through the market if it is Saturday.
