It was originally created to compensate for the gardens that disappeared during the construction of Deventer's new fortifications. It quickly became a highly desirable location where affluent citizens built their country residences.Locally, however, the area has always been known as De Worp. Historically, these were shared fishing grounds where fishermen dried their nets after use. Throughout the centuries, successive bridges connected the area to Deventer, ensuring it remained closely linked to the city. During this period, the oldest public park in the Netherlands was established here, eventually taking on its current English landscape style during the 19th century.The location is truly exceptional.
