A really beautiful city, straight out of a picture book, as is the area around it.

Dalem Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

Beautiful little church. On June 13, 1801, the pastor's daughter laid the foundation stone here. The church is now owned by the municipality and is used for special occasions. It stands in a beautiful location with views over the floodplains and the Gorinchem skyline.

Gorinchem is a beautiful old city but don't forget to take a detour along the floodplains. Beautiful views and if you are a bit early it is also wonderfully quiet.

Beautiful Gorinchem

Highlight • Historical Site

On August 16, 2021, Gorinchem was declared the most beautiful fortified city in the Netherlands by the ANWB.
“Gorinchem is beautifully situated at the place where the Linge flows into the Merwede. The ramparts are beautifully preserved: a green ribbon around the city with knots of chestnuts and plane trees to stroll under and with a view of the surrounding areas, the river and the many defenses. That combination of a view of the river, a ring of greenery and a lively city center makes Gorinchem a tasty chocolate," said the jury.

Dalempoort and Cannons

Highlight • Historical Site

The medieval town of Gorinchem was originally surrounded by four gates. The Dalempoort is the only one left. You cannot visit the gate, because it is inhabited. But it is also nice to walk through the gate towards the water.

Fortified town Gorinchem

Highlight • Historical Site

Gorinchem (pronounced: Gorcum) is a nice fortified town with a picturesque old center. Take time to roam the streets and alleys.

Dr. Smedtij Storefronts

Highlight • Structure

The famous buildings like the town hall usually get the attention. However, it is also enjoyable to look at other facades like these beautiful shops.
