Lochem

Lochem extends across 215 square kilometers of varied terrain, encompassing eight distinct urban centers including Almen, Barchem, Eefde, and Gorssel at 14 meters elevation.

The settlement earned city rights from Count Otto II of Guelders in 1233, developing from a fortified town into a regional market center during the 17th century.

The St. Gudula Church, dating from the 11th century, contains a preserved 1834 organ and stands as a central religious monument in the municipality.

The railway station connects Lochem to the Zutphen-Glanerbeek line, providing regular transportation services for the municipality's 33,729 residents and visitors.

Huis Verwolde estate features what specialists consider the thickest tree in the Netherlands, located within the grounds of an 18th-century castle.
