Ootmarsum, Medieval town in Overijssel, Netherlands
Ootmarsum features narrow cobblestone streets lined with traditional Dutch buildings, art galleries, and small restaurants within its preserved town center.
The settlement gained city rights in 1325, transforming into a fortified town with defensive walls, moats, and earthworks to protect its inhabitants.
Local Easter traditions include the Poaskearls ceremony, where men walk through town singing traditional songs while holding hands in a chain formation.
The town center contains multiple art galleries, craft shops, and museums within walking distance, making it convenient for visitors to explore on foot.
A Spanish cannonball from the 1597 siege remains embedded in the church wall, serving as a physical reminder of the Eighty Years War.
