About Grave
Grave, being a fortified city on the southern side of the river Meuse, has been the subject of many sieges. These sieges happened during the Eighty Years' War, when the city fell in 1586 and became a subject of Spain. The city then was sieged again, though this time by the Dutch in 1602, which ended up in a Dutch victory. Both in 1672 and 1674 the city was under siege, first resulting in French, and then in Dutch victories, only for the French to retake the city in 1794. The city, having been around for a good eight hundred years, is filled withRijksmonumenten(National monuments), roughly 43 per square kilometer (the city is about 3 square kilometer big).
