The canals surrounding Heusden are typical of a fortified town. Also typical is the Demer roundel, a seemingly ancient medieval structure, but appearances can be deceiving! This roundel—normally a medieval defensive structure—was only completed in 1985. It is based on a drawing from 1692.

That's typical of Holland, too.
The canal runs perfectly straight through the beautiful and well-kept streets...
