Deventer is one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands. The place is already mentioned in 9th-century sources from the bishopric of Utrecht. A charter from 877 mentions seven hooves in Daventre portu (the port of Deventer). In 952, Deventer is mentioned as a city in a donation charter from King Otto I. After acquiring more and more rights and privileges over time, the town received municipal lands from Emperor Henry V in 1123. This is considered by historians to be the moment the inhabitants obtained city rights. The city has the oldest stone house, the oldest walking park and, with the Athenaeum Library, also the oldest scientific library in the Netherlands.
Of course, I took this photo on the other side of the river IJssel.
