About Gouda

Gouda is a city and municipality within the province of South Holland, Netherlands with a population of seventy two,338. It is well-known for its Gouda cheese, stroopwafels, many grachten, smoking pipes, and its fifteenth-century metropolis corridor. Gouda's array of historical churches and other homes makes it a completely famous day trip destination. In the Middle Ages, a settlement changed into founded on the place of the modern metropolis with the aid of the Van der Goude family, who built a fortified citadel along the banks of the Gouwe River, from which the circle of relatives and the city took its call.

The place, originally marshland, evolved over the path of centuries. By 1225, a canal changed into connected to the Gouwe and its estuary became transformed into a harbour. City rights had been granted in 1272. Around the 12 months 1100, the place in which Gouda now could be placed became swampy and blanketed with a peat forest, crossed by way of small creeks together with the Gouwe. Along the shorelines of this circulation near the modern-day marketplace and metropolis corridor, peat harvesting commenced within the eleventh and twelfth centuries. In 1139, the call Gouda is first stated in a statement from the Bishop of Utrecht.
