Nederland - Sittard

Nederland - Sittard
Sittard - assumed to have been founded around the year of 850 - is one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands. The Duke of Limburg is said to have granted the city its “city rights” in 1243. In 1400 Sittard became part of the Duchy of Jülich, which it remained until 1794. During the 15th - 17th centuries the city saw much conflicts and it was destroyed by multiple fires and rebuild a number of times.

From 1798 to 1814 Sittard belonged to France as a part of the so called the Roer department, with Aachen as its capital. In 1814 it became part of the Netherlands, except for the years 1830 - 1839. During World War II the historic centre of Sittard was mostly spared destruction, although over 4.000 shells and rockets struck the city.

Although the city of Sittard has continued to grow after the war, it has maintained its connection with its history. Many of the buildings in existence still today are indicative of the 16th and 17th centuries. Even the original city walls, built in the 13th century, are still visible in many places throughout the city.

The city centre 0f Sittard has been officially designated as a protected national monument.

A great collage here from you Jaap. Once again telling a story of one of your cities. A lot of history both in story and photos. Well done.

Keep safe and enjoy the week. Herb

Wow! If this was really taken today, I'm so jealous of your lovely weather :-))

Such an amazing city with an interesting and sometimes troubled history. It's good to hear that the city centre has been protected as a National Monument.

This is a beautiful series Jaap............I especially like seeing an alterative view of each image in the PiPs. Very well presented in this collage as well.

If I had to pick a favourite it would be the one on the bottom row, 2nd in from the left.........the old advertising painting on the wall.

WOWWWW!!! Jaap, you spent such a lot of time to create this wonderful presentation for us! Thanks for all of the bigger insets to show us more detail. And now I want to add this place to my Bucket List...oh Jaap, you are such a trouble-maker! :D I feel like a duck following you around the globe...a happy duck! :D Thanks for all of these pictures to tempt me. You have given us a taste of this interesting city, along with details to add some history.
