Coevorden Attractions

Coevorden, situated on a strategically important site in southeastern Drenthe, became a fortified town in the 16th century, and part of the town walls and the fortified castle (the only one in Drenthe; now occupied by the Town Hall) have been preserved. Around 1700 the circuit of walls was extended.

The streets of Coevorden were laid out in a radial pattern within polygonals and extensive outer earthworks.
