Dordrecht is the oldest city in Holland and has a long history. The city was first mentioned by name in a text from the twelfth century, when the settlement was still referred to as Thuredrech. Even before 1200, Dordrecht received city rights, which were supplemented in 1205 and expanded with important articles by Count William I in 1220. From that time on, the city developed as an important trading town and staple city and was one of the six major cities of Holland.
During this walk, the guide will tell you the funniest anecdotes and the best stories about the city that you probably haven't heard before.
For example, do you know why the people of Dordrecht are also called 'Schapenkoppen' ? Do you know that Dordrecht is the oldest city in Holland? And do you know that Dordrecht is located at the busiest river junction in Europe?
