Sights

Bergzicht

Bergzicht
5438NE Grave
http://www.allemolens.nl

The most famous windmill type in the Netherlands. Windmills were not only used to produce flour from cereals, but also for draining polder areas. Natural energy. The most famous windmills can be found in Kinderdijk, really set up as a polder model. A must see!

Regenboogbrug naar Grave

Graafseweg
6612 AR Heumen

This striking Rainbow Bridge to Grave is named after John S. Thompson, who captured the bridge on September 17, 1944 during Operation Market Garden. The colors are intended to make the transition between the Brabant and Gelderland border look like a rainbow.

Kroonwerk Coehoorn

Kleefse Veerstraat
6582 AA Heumen
https://www.zuiderwaterlinie.nl/11-vestingsteden/forten-in-nederland/kroonwerk-coehoorn

The famous fortress builder Menno van Coehoorn constructed the Kroonwerk Coehoorn around 1700 in the Nederasselt floodplains to defend Grave. There was a moat around the crown work, and a pontoon bridge was built over the Maas. The crownwork replaced older, smaller defenses. Such as the lunette Verloren Cost that the Spaniards built there in 1586, and a hornwork by the Staatsen. During the last century, space had to be created for shipping on the Maas. This caused a lot of damage to the crown work. Fortunately, you can still clearly see the contours of the building: there are shrubs exactly where the crownwork used to be.
