    Beautiful old fortified town with monumental buildings and a nice harbor

      Woerkum, as the fortress residents call Woudrichem, is a tough fortress lying on the Merwede and has good neighbors such as Gorinchem fortress and Slot Loevestein. This fortified town is worth a visit. Wander along the ancient facades, visit the historic harbor and contemplate this history on a beautiful terrace. The area is excellent for walking and cycling and with the ferry you can make a round along the entire Vestingdriehoek.
       
      As a fortified city, Woudrichem was part of both the Old and the New Dutch Waterline. Together with fortress Gorinchem, she closed off the river Waal to the enemy. The artillery supported fortress Gorinchem, Slot Loevestein and Fort Vuren. Much has been preserved from that time, such as bastions, ravelins, a Guard House, a bomb-proof arsenal, the Marechaussee barracks and the waterworks outside the gate.

        Beautiful small city that was once one of the important fortifications to defend the Waal and the access to the Rijn river transport system.
