This can be seen on the walls, ramparts, bastions and other defenses that surround the city. These had to protect the civilian population from external attacks. Over the centuries, several invaders have tried to conquer the Netherlands. Wherever you also enter Brielle (or Den Briel, the historical name), the old town breathes the atmosphere of bygone times.
