Oldest city in Friesland<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Stavoren is the oldest of all Frisian towns. What is now a nice and cosy water sports town used to be a busy and active trading town. It traded via the Baltic Sea and the Rhine. In 1060, the town received city rights and played an important role in the Baltic Sea trade. Around 1385, Stavoren became a Hanseatic city. But the rich Zuiderzee town also suffered many misfortunes; disappearance of herring fishing, conquest by the Vetkopers and major fires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lady of Stavoren<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The greatest misfortune is expressed in the legend of “Het vrouwtje van Stavoren”. According to the legend, a rich shipowner’s wife ordered one of her captains to set sail and take home the most precious thing in the world. The captain returned and took a hold full of grains. In her anger, the female had the cargo of grain thrown overboard in the harbour. As punishment for her hubris, the port of Stavoren silted up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now the merchant ships have given way to pleasure boats. In season, many ships pass through the locks, to sail from the Frisian lakes to the IJsselmeer or vice versa. You can also cross to Enkhuizen on foot or by bike and visit the Zuiderzeemuseum<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
