The city of Lochem


Lochem, 18 km (11 mi) east of Zutphen, received city rights in 1233.[5] Until the 17th century, it was often besieged and burnt down. After 1700, it became a small market town for the farmers in its surroundings.


The village of Laren (Gelderland) has a castle called Verwolde. In summer, guided tours of this castle are organized for tourists. On its estate there is a tree, said to be the thickest tree in the Netherlands ( "de dikke boom van Verwolde").
