Steenwijk, Medieval fortified town in Overijssel, Netherlands
Steenwijk features intact defense walls, moats, and gates surrounding the central district, with an 86-meter tower of Sint Clemenskerk rising above the skyline.
The settlement received city rights in 1327, followed by significant defensive improvements during the Eighty Years' War between 1568 and 1648.
The Museumhuis Rams Woerthe, established in 1919, displays local artifacts from Eskaf pottery production and the Steenwijker tobacco industry.
The central train station connects directly to Arnhem and Leeuwarden through regular Nederlandse Spoorwegen services, making regional travel efficient.
The city structure maintains medieval dimensions with buildings at different levels due to accumulated soil layers over centuries of construction.
