Enjoy historic Gorinchem

The historic core of Gorinchem enjoys a protected cityscape. And not without reason: this old fortress still houses many beautiful monuments. In the countryside around the city it is wonderful to cycle through the Alblasserwaard.

Historic Gorinchem
In cozy Gorinchem, which is also written as Gorkum, history is visible everywhere. In this former merchant and garrison town, the street pattern from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries is still visible. The sixteenth-century ramparts have also been preserved. In this fortified city of the Dutch Waterline you will find numerous monumental buildings and historic defenses. Such as the almost 70 meter high St. John's Tower from 1450, which is one and a half meters out of plumb.

Dutch views
In the Alblasserwaard you drive over winding dikes along a few rivers. You will experience a wonderful silence in this beautiful wide polder land. You drive through old ribbon villages such as Hoogblokland. From afar you can already see the fifteenth-century church tower of Hoornaar appear on the horizon. Your views can't be much more Dutch. At Maria Johanna Hoeve you can relax with a drink and snack. Follow a relaxed golf clinic and stay in the comfortable B&B.
