Tourism In Woudrichem, The Netherlands

The Dutch fortified town of Woudrichem, or Woerkum, as the inhabitants say, is the only town of the Biesbosch line. In the 9th century a market place was created on a levee. Today, this is where Hoogstraat and Molenstraat intersect. This place is still the heart of the fortified city.
