Vestingwallen Asperen

You can see from these ramparts that Asperen was originally a fortified town. For a long time Asperen was a manor in the possession of the Lords of Arkel. However, between 1401 and 1412 they came into conflict with their feudal lord, the count of Holland, as a result of which the Arkel areas came into the hands of Holland. It was not until 1989 that Asperen became part of Gelderland due to pushbacks.
