Coevorden, Historic fortified city in Drenthe, Netherlands.
The municipality of Coevorden extends over 299 square kilometers of land, incorporating both urban settlements and agricultural landscapes in eastern Netherlands.
The settlement received its city rights in 1408, becoming the first official city in Drenthe province and later developed into a strategic military post.
The geometric layout of Coevorden reflects Dutch Renaissance urban planning principles, with streets arranged in a radial pattern from the central castle.
Two railway stations serve the municipality, connecting residents and visitors to major Dutch cities through regular train services throughout the day.
The name Coevorden, meaning cattle crossing, shares etymological origins with Oxford in England and Bosporus in Turkey.
