    City, originated on the northwest side of the Gooi near the Zuiderzee (now IJsselmeer). Naarden, first mentioned around 900, was further north-east and was granted city rights around 1325. Around 1350, Naarden was destroyed by Hoekse troops. Partly due to the increasing coastal erosion, rebuilding followed further inland, for which Count William V granted permission in 1351. Due to its location on the sea dike (Westdijk) between Naardermeer and Zuiderzee, Naarden acquired great military significance. In 1355 the defensive belt around the city was completed and in 1403 Albrecht van Beieren gave permission to build a seaport.

        The Naarden fortress has been beautifully restored. Naarden is one of the best preserved fortified towns and unique because of its star-shaped construction.
