Tolhuis
The name says it all: this Tolhuis was built in 1598 on the southern bastion to collect toll. All ships passing by Gorinchem had to pay toll here. The Tolhuis therefore has a magnificent view over the Merwede!
In 1869, the Tolhuis became an artillery barracks. After that, it had many other functions: military hospital, school, library, reading room, employment office and office. It is now a National Monument with various functions.
