Wijnhaven, Dordrecht

Highlight • Structure

The Oude Haven, as the Wijnhaven used to be called, played a central role in shipping and the (wine) trade in the city, and helped ensure that Dordrecht grew into the most prosperous and powerful city in the country. The many buildings on the monumental Wijnstraat still bear witness to this. (Photo: Dordrecht Regional Archives)

Napoleon docked at the Groothoofd on Saturday, October 5, 1811. The Dordrecht authorities were probably still alert when Napoleon's yacht arrived between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. The French emperor immediately changed into a sloop and was rowed via the Wijnhaven to the Voorstraatshaven. There he met the hastily rushed notables, who exhausted themselves in apologizing.

Groothoofd Gate

Highlight • Monument

This 15th century city gate of Dordrecht is a national monument. The gate has fairly thin walls, but did not serve as a defensive gate. The Groothoofdspoort was intended as an elegant entrance to the city. The gate was restored in the early 1970s.

Nieuwe Haven and Grote Kerk Dordrecht

Highlight • Historical Site

The Nieuwe Haven (New Harbour) in Dordrecht is a charming, historic harbor built in the 15th century. It's one of the most beautiful spots in Dordrecht's city center, surrounded by monumental buildings, old warehouses, and charming quays. Classic ships and tour boats are often moored here, including the steam tug Pieter Boele.

Catharijne Gate, Dordrecht

Highlight • Monument

The Catharijnepoort in the South Holland city of Dordrecht is located on the Hooikade on the Oude Maas. The Catharijne or Katrijnenpoort, which dates from 1652, was intended to provide access to the Hooikade after the Maartensgat was dug. It is a simple passage between wooded pilasters with entablature. Keystone with mask in the gate arch. The frieze is dated: 1652. Completely made of natural stone. Graceful hipped roof. The land side, in brick, is very simple.

Straatman Propeller Dock.

Highlight • Monument

Schroevendok Straatman is a striking national monument from 1928. It belonged to the Machinefabriek L. Straatman Ketelmakerij, which was located at the Kuipershaven from 1902 to 1996. The dock was used to partially lift ships out of the water so that the ship's rudders and screws could be repaired or replaced from floating wooden platforms. The dock is still in operation, making it a living monument!

Steamship Pieter Boele

Highlight • Monument

The Pieter Boele was built in 1893 by the P. Boele shipyard in Slikkerveer in the style of the then common Rhine tugs. The tug served on the Rhine under the name “Speculant” until 1965.

In 1972 the ship was renamed after the name of the shipbuilder Pieter Boele. Since 1987, the ship has been kept in a working condition under the management of the “Dordt in Stoom” foundation with the help of approximately 25 volunteers.
