Nieuwpoort Town Hall

beautiful fortified city with various sights, the town hall is a particularly beautiful building.

In the heart of Nieuwpoort, a charming fortified town in the Alblasserwaard, stands the historic Town Hall, a building that testifies to the town's resilience and rich history. Situated on the banks of the Lek River, this striking building tells the story of Nieuwpoort, where water has always played a crucial role in the town's development. Within the walls of the old Town Hall is the Nieuwpoort Museum, where visitors of all ages are taken on an interactive journey through time. The museum focuses on the turbulent times of battle, destruction and occupation that the town experienced, with a particular focus on the disaster year of 1672. This year marked a turning point in Nieuwpoort's history when it became part of the old Dutch Water Line, a defensive line that played an important role in protecting against invasion.
