In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries there was a windmill on the Draaiersschans, which shaped the face of Weesp. All wooden structures within the so-called forbidden circles had to be removed or burned down as quickly as possible to create a clear field of fire in times of war.

Beautiful Weesp. Take a walking tour through the old town. Sufficient catering.
