During the time that the river the Eem was still called the Amer, the Langestraat was the main trade route of Amersfoort, which passed by the Hof. The traders crossed the Amer at De Voorde – a ford place not far from here. The Hof was used as a backyard by the Bishop of Utrecht, who lived there. Smart as he was, he started to ask toll at the only place where various traders could cross the river. They were only allowed to trade, or paid the toll.
The building next to the Bistro was a forage store, where traders bought their stuff. The horses were taken care of in the building where our Bistro is situated right now. And ever since 1522 the traders used to get their drinks in our Stadscafé In Den Grooten Slock.
