Willemstad Vacation Guide
Willemstad is a town in the Dutch province of North Brabant. It is located in the municipality of Moerdijk.
The little fortified town of Willemstad is situated near the point where the Hollandsdiep divides into two arms, between which lies the island of Goeree-Overflakkee. William the Silent gave orders in 1583 for the construction of this star-shaped fortress with its seven bastions, two gates and regular street layout; the builder was Adriaen Anthonisz. After William's murder in 1584 his son Maurice named the town Willemstad in his honor.
Willemstad was a separate municipality until 1997, when it became part of Zevenbergen, which changed name to Moerdijk in 1998.
