• Gunpowder magazines

  Gunpowder magazines

  Gorinchem

  No fortress would be complete without gunpowder, and that of course had to be stored somewhere, and safely. Like all other fortresses, Gorinchem, too, had many ‘gunpowder magazines’ (reinforced storehouses for explosives), large and small. Two of the large magazines on the Dalemwal rampart are still in use today. However, instead of gunpowder, you can now see modern artworks, photos, jewellery, textiles, glass creations and ceramics. And there is no entry fee to see the fascinating exhibitions of the works by professional artists.

• De Hoop flour mill

  De Hoop flour mill

  Gorinchem

  Medieval towns had to be self-sufficient. Given that the potato had not yet arrived from South America, the staple food was bread. Bread needs flour, and Gorinchem had several flour mills to provide this to the local bakers. Two of these remain standing on the ramparts: De Hoop and Nooit Volmaakt. De Hoop is open every weekend. You can climb the wooden steps to the top to see how the mill operates, with the bonus of a spectacular view over the river. The miller loves to welcome guests.

• Tollhouse

  Tollhouse

  Gorinchem

  Dating from 1598, the tollhouse rises above the fortress, and with good reason: all passing ships had to pay the toll here.

And you can enjoy this fantastic view too: the upper floor has been converted into a ‘Monument en Bed’, a luxuriously furnished guest accommodation in a heritage building.
