Deventer was founded by Lebuinus around 768. He built a wooden church there.
A Catholic community called the Brethren of the Common Life was founded by priest Geert Groote in this city late 14th century. This community was connected with a Catholic reform movement called the Devotio Moderna, which was largely based on Groote and founded the same time.
Deventer is well known for its cake, the so-called Deventer Koek.
