The Citadel is a pentagonal entrenchment with bastions, constructed in 1637 in the northern corner of 's-Hertogenbosch. The walls built around the redoubt towered some 38 feet above the water surrounding the Citadel. The entrenchment served not only to defend the city, but also to control the city itself, which after the famous siege of 1629 to a considerable extent had remained pro-Spanish.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in this delightful, traditionally Dutch city. Not necessary a household name you’d reel off when listing places in The Netherlands, ‘s-Hertogenbosch (Den Bosch) is full of enchanting side passages, terrific bars and restaurants, tourist attractions and is of course home to the Bossche bol, a chocolate-coated eclair delicacy. We began our tour here at Den Bosch train station, a modern transport hub – not quite on the same level as Arnhem, mind! – and took us past the canals, to Vught Concentration Camp, up Den Bosch’s church spire for sprawling views and all over the rest of the town square. This was a truly great set of three nights, which is more than enough to take it all in (with day trips to Nijmegen, Oss etc.)

The city of Den Bosch or in full ‘s Hertogenbosch (The Duke’s Forest ... Bois-le-Duc or Bolduc) is one of the oldest in the Netherlands. It got city rights as early as 1184. In fact Neanderthalers already lived there 30000 years ago! The market is very central and very worthwhile to visit for shopping, sightseeing or relaxing at one of the many bars and and restaurants. Also there is a statue of Jeroen Bosch the famous painter, as well as his native house built in 1462, Sint Thoenis, now called “de kleine winst” (literally “the small profit”) which was a souvenir shop until recently and is now subject to archeological study.

Once upon a time Den Bosch boasted over four miles of defensive walls. Wind mills, cannons and sturdy towers were all part and parcel of these historic bastions. Despite the fact that most of them have disappeared, the city is still proud of its architectural and military past. One of the best spots to see and experience this rich history is the Bastionder where you can see a lovely city park with possibly the best view of Den Bosch over the Bossche Broek. The last part of the fortifications were added to the fortress (Bastion Oranje) in 1634. In the spring thousands of crocuses are in bloom, in summer you can have a picnic underneath its ancient trees and in the autumn this rustic oasis is a great place for a walk. The underground information centre offers visitors information about the military history of the city across the centuries.
