History

Doesburg received town rights in 1237, this was years later than the surrounding city of Doetinchem. Because of its strategic position along the old IJssel and the gelderse IJssel, Doesburg is an important vestingstad, has for a long time been. The vestingstag, a defensible city made Doesburg an important economic and administrative city. The Martinikerk, the main church in Doesburg is 94 meters tall. For many reasons, many of which have to do with the IJssel decreasing in depth, the prosperity in Doesburg settled after the 15th century. Doesburg changed into a sleepy province borough and so it would remain especially after the war. The city was protected in 1974, designated as a historic town. Because Doesburg up to 1923 was officially a vestingstad, town extension was not possible. After the second world war the city was rapidly extended. In the fifties on the Eastern side of the city the district mill field was built. At south of the old IJssel followed in the seventies ' and ' 80 the district Beinum, recently at south of Beinum the district Campstede has been built. At the beginning of the 21st century to the IJsselkade a new area has begun construction of 44 houses and 124 apartments under architecture of the Italian architect Adolfo Natalini. In 2007, construction of a hotel began and was completed.
