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

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.

"Orsoy was first mentioned in a document as Hersougen in 1139. Orsoy received city rights around 1285. 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. Due to the municipal reorganization of 1975, Orsoy became a district of Rheinberg and, together with the town of Rheinberg, belonged to the district of Wesel."
