Description
The Maasstadjes route leads you through the special Maasplassen area with beautiful natural beauty and picturesque villages. Numerous monuments in the white towns of Thorn, Stevensweert and Wessem, among others, remind us of the rich history of this area.
The white town of Thorn
The white town of Thorn has a historic center with white houses and many authentic buildings from the 15th to the 19th century, winding streets with original Maas cobblestones, intimate courtyards, floor mosaics and medieval impressions. For more than 800 years, Thorn was the capital of a miniature principality, now it is a protected cityscape. Stevensweert is an old fortified town on an island between two arms of the Maas. The fortress was founded by the Spanish in 1633. The special street pattern and the centuries-old monuments are especially worth seeing.
