Zaltbommel, Medieval Hanseatic municipality in Gelderland, Netherlands

The municipality stretches along both sides of the Waal River, encompassing thirteen distinct population centers across 89 square kilometers of land and water.

First documented in 850 as Bomela, the settlement received city rights in 1231 and later became a member of the influential Hanseatic League.

The Sint-Maartenskerk church, built in the 15th century, represents the Neder Rijn Gothic architectural style and stands in the center of Zaltbommel.

The municipality connects to major Dutch cities through the A2 motorway and regular train service between Utrecht and Den Bosch stations.

The Maarten van Rossumhuis, constructed in 1535, serves as a testament to military architecture with its fortified walls and defensive features.
