Van Heutszpark Monuments and Fountain

Beautiful park, named after General Van Heutsz, on the edges of the old fortress of Coevorden. With beautiful monuments and ancient trees.

The park is located partly within and partly outside the city moat on the north side of the city and extends from the road Stationsstraat - Dalerallee to the Stieltjeskanaal. It is named after the Coevorden-born lieutenant general and governor of Aceh, Joannes Benedictus van Heutsz. The park features the Oranjebank, which was erected on the occasion of the birth of Princess Beatrix, and a Resistance Monument (1949) by Bas Galis (both within the city moat). At the highest point of the park, also within the moat, is the Coevorden water tower.

You can still clearly see the contours of the fortress.
