Bastioned walls
The old town is surrounded by walls with pointed bastions and a moat, still largely intact. From above they form a sharp star-like ring around the historic centre.

The map
About this Gorinchem map poster
Gorinchem, often called Gorkum, lies in the Dutch province of South Holland at the point where the Linge river flows into the broad Merwede. The map makes its defences unmistakable: the old town is enclosed by an almost complete ring of bastioned walls and a moat, forming a jagged, star-like outline between two rivers.
Inside the walls, streets follow the line of the Linge, which runs through the centre as a harbour. The town is known for the Martyrs of Gorkum, a group of clergy killed in 1572 whose story is remembered well beyond the Netherlands. Outside the fortifications, newer districts spread north and east across flat polder land.
A Gorinchem map poster is one of the most geometric maps a small town can produce. The angular bastions, the curve of the moat, the wide river to the south and the narrow harbour inside the walls combine into a precise, almost architectural composition that suits a black-and-white print particularly well.

The Merwede river
The wide Merwede passes along the southern edge of the fortress. On the map it gives the composition a broad band of water and a strong horizontal base.
Linge harbour
The Linge flows through the centre as a narrow harbour before joining the Merwede, dividing the old town and giving its streets their direction.
