The Doesburg Grote or Martinikerk is an impressive late-Gothic church dominating the town center with its soaring 94-meter tower, one of the tallest in the Netherlands. It was built between the 15th and early 16th centuries on the site of an earlier Romanesque church, and despite suffering damage from lightning strikes, wartime destruction, and fires, it has been carefully restored to its former glory. Today the church is still in active use for worship, concerts, events, and offers guided tower climbs with sweeping views over Doesburg and the surrounding Gelderland landscape.
Museum De Maurits in Doesburg is a compact, privately owned World War II museum housed in an old school building, showcasing an expansive personal collection of artefacts—from weapons and uniforms to identity papers and propaganda materials. Founded in 1987 by Herman Riewald, whose childhood fascination with war relics along the IJssel led him to amass a trove of deeply personal and locally significant items. Today it's run by his children, who preserve and share these everyday stories of occupation and resistance in an intimate space packed with historical treasures.
The Doesburgsche Mosterdfabriek is a historic mustard and vinegar factory dating back to 1457, nestled in the heart of medieval Doesburg. Since 1974, it operates not only as a working production facility but also as a museum where visitors can admire traditional mills and vintage equipment while discovering local mustard-making traditions. Guests can watch mustard being produced on-site, explore the collection of old jars and tools, and even taste the authentic “Van Ouds Alom Bekende” Doesburgsche mustard.
