Heusden Attractions

Northwest of 's-Hertogenbosch is the old fortified town of Heusden, which with its ring of walls and canals was an important element in the defense of Holland between 1580 and 1620. Thereafter the town declined, and in 1913 the harbor was closed down. After restoration work in the 1960s, however, the old harbor is once again operational as a yacht harbor.
Heusden attracts many tourists each year who come to visit the town center and walk along the defensive walls of Heusden.
