A charming city in the heart of Drenthe, known for its rich history and vibrant culture.
Assen, the capital of Drenthe, is a city that beautifully blends its historical roots with modern living. Its origins date back to 1259, when a nunneries' site was established, marking the beginning of a settlement that has grown into a thriving municipality. The city has evolved significantly over the centuries, becoming an attractive residence for the affluent, particularly in the 18th century. Today, Assen is known for its well-planned neighborhoods, each with its unique character, offering a diverse range of housing options. The city is also home to several notable landmarks, including the Drents Museum and the cultural center De Nieuwe Kolk, which showcases the city's commitment to arts and culture.
