River junction
The Lek sweeps past the town's southern edge, and the smaller Kromme Rijn branches off nearby. This meeting of waters has shaped the site for more than a thousand years.

The map
About this Wijk bij Duurstede map poster
Wijk bij Duurstede lies in the southeast of Utrecht province, where the Kromme Rijn branches off from the Nederrijn and Lek. From above, the old town is a compact, almost rectangular grid of streets around a central market square and church. The river dike borders it on one side and the green grounds of Duurstede Castle on another.
The town stands close to the site of Dorestad, one of the most important trading centres of early medieval northwestern Europe, which declined after the rivers shifted and Viking raids took their toll. Duurstede Castle later served as a residence of the bishops of Utrecht. The town's round stone windmill, Rijn en Lek, recalls Jacob van Ruisdael's famous painting of a mill at Wijk bij Duurstede.
A Wijk bij Duurstede map poster shows the tight historic centre, the moated castle park, the broad sweep of the river and the flood meadows beyond the dike. Newer neighbourhoods and surrounding orchards and polders complete the picture, placing the town clearly in the Dutch river landscape.

Castle park
Duurstede Castle stands in a landscaped park with moats, a green, irregular shape at the edge of the otherwise regular old town.
Canal crossing
Just west of the town, the Amsterdam–Rhine Canal crosses the Lek. Its long straight line and lock complex cut boldly across the river landscape.
