A beautiful old town. A great round trip on the old city walls

Hiking

A beautiful little place where things are still tranquil. Numerous historical buildings make up the charm of this little village. On the side of the town that faces the Rhine, there is an elevated walkway with benches to linger. Remains of the historic city wall complete the picture.

From the beginning Orsoy belonged to the territory of the Counts of Kleve. 1609/1666 Orsoy with the Duchy of Kleve came under the rule of the Elector of Brandenburg. 1816-22 Rheinberg district , 1822-1856 district of Geldern, 1856-1975 district of Moers.
