Groenlo, Fortified city in Gelderland, Netherlands
Located near the German border in the Achterhoek region, Groenlo displays historic walls, defensive structures, and water channels throughout its urban layout.
The city received its rights and privileges on December 2, 1277, from landgrave Reinoud I of Zutphen, marking its establishment as a strategic settlement.
The population of Groenlo maintains Catholic traditions through celebrations of Carnaval and Kermis, distinguishing itself from the surrounding Protestant communities.
The municipality merged with Lichtenvoorde in 2005, forming Oost Gelre, while retaining its historical character and administrative functions within the region.
The siege of 1627 by Frederik Hendrik remains central to local identity, with regular historical reenactments drawing thousands of visitors to the city.
