The city walk

After the museum, you will tour the silver town of Schoonhoven with a group of 20 and a guide. Schoonhoven is a town and former municipality in the municipality of Krimpenerwaard in South Holland. Schoonhoven is a fortified town. Almost 350 years ago, the old Dutch Waterline was our salvation in the war against Sea Beggars, Spaniards and French. By flooding polders, enemy armies could be stopped. Schoonhoven was the backbone of Dutch defence. Thus, besides the ferry gate, there are defensive walls, ramparts and old cannons to admire. But also an old floodgate with a white drawbridge. In short, it is all history, which the guide will tell you about.
