"Fortress Orsoy
The last Old Dutch part was the Niederwall (...a Dutch invention, the parts of the second fortification ring were further developments) with the covered path and the glacis in front of it. The main moat in front of the bastions had to be enlarged because of the new ravelins. The Orsoy Fortress itself is referred to as the "Irregular Pentagonal Bastionary Fortress" according to current fortress terminology.
The sections (overview and city wall) are based in part on the Orsoy article (as of 10/03/2007) from the free encyclopedia Wikipedia and are available under the GNU license [27 KB] for free documentation. A list of authors is available on Wikipedia. " Source: rheinruhronline.de/niederrhein/niederrheinteil1/rheinberg/orsoy.htm

Great old fortress town ... many small details from the former fortress are still there and can be found on a tour through the town.

The Dutch linden trees on the dike offer a beautiful motif with a view over the Rhine
