Image:Ltspkr.pngGouda (population 71,797 in 2004) is a city in the western Netherlands, in the province of South Holland. Gouda, which was granted city rights in 1272, is famous for its Gouda cheese, smoking pipes and its 15th century town hall. The Sint Janskerk has the most significant stained glass in the Netherlands[1]. The town takes its name from the Van der Goude family, who built a fortified castle alongside the banks of the Gouwe River, from which the family took its name. The area, originally marshland, developed over the course of two centuries. By 1225, a canal was linked to the Gouwe and its estuary was transformed into a harbor. It is likely best known for its namesake cheese. Gouda's fabulous array of histoic churches and other buildings makes it a very popular day trip destination. Unfortunately in recent years Gouda has gained a reputation as a center of petty and car crime, allegedly instigated by a disenfanchised small group of 2nd generation Morroccan immigrants. A fact that the far right have tried to exploit. Image File history File links Gouda_stadhuis_februari_2003. ... Image File history File links Gouda_stadhuis_februari_2003. ...
