A charming municipality nestled in Gelderland, known for its rich history and picturesque landscapes.
Westervoort is a quaint municipality located in the province of Gelderland, just southeast of Arnhem. With a population of approximately 15,152 residents, it covers an area of 7.85 km², making it the smallest municipality in the Netherlands since 2016. The town is steeped in history, dating back to the Middle Ages, and is believed to be the oldest settlement in the Liemers region. The name Westervoort may refer to a ford that provided access to the west, and it has been a significant location since at least 726 AD, as recorded in historical documents. The local church tower, dating back to the 13th century, stands as a testament to the architectural heritage of the area.
Westervoort's development has been shaped by its geographical position, bordered by the rivers Nederrijn and IJssel. Historically, it was somewhat isolated due to these waterways, but connections were established through ferries and bridges. The town has evolved from an agricultural community into a vibrant residential area, particularly since the 1980s when it became a growth center. Notable historical sites, such as the remnants of former estates and the traditional farmhouses, provide a glimpse into its past. The legend of Werenfried, a local saint, adds a layer of cultural significance, as he is celebrated for his contributions to the community. Today, Westervoort combines historical charm with modern living, making it an attractive place for residents and visitors alike.
