    The fortified town of Geertruidenberg is originally Dutch. It was the first to receive city rights from the County of Holland in 1213. Real fortifications appear at the beginning of the Eighty Years' War when William of Orange takes the city. He had new walls and three bastions built there. The fortifications were modernized in the 16th and 17th centuries. Fortification builder Menno van Coehoorn turned this 'Key of Holland' into a strategic place in the Zuiderwaterlinie to ward off the French. The city joined North Brabant in 1813 (under Louis Napoleon). (Source Zuiderwaterlinie)
