Dordrecht Harbor - a photo on Flickriver

Dordrecht Harbor

            The city of Dordrecht, situated at a junction of rivers, played a key role in trade in the Middle-Ages. Dordrecht is a real monument city where Dordrecht facades, grand mansions, warehouses, churches and water towers dominate the cityscape. Like the City Hall, which was built in the 14th–century as a Flemish commodity exchange and where the city council took up residence in 1544. Or the Dordrecht Patrician mansion renamed Museum on the Maas where you can experience how a patrician household lived at the end of the 18th–century. The Grote Kerk is also worth a visit: the church’s completely in stone vaulted basilica is famous for its 16th-century choir stalls, carved in Renaissance style.

Typical of Dordrecht are also the many courtyards, including Vrouwenhof from 1755 around a courtyard with ancient trees and a well. Also notable is that Dordrecht has no canals, but ports. The charming port area, with its warehouses, merchants’ houses, quays and – more recently – pleasure craft stretches between Grote Kerk and Groothoofd. At Groothoofd you have – from one of the many terraces – stunning views over the busiest river crossroads of Europe.
