Lingehaven
Lingehaven
Lingehaven is the historic inner harbor of Gorinchem, situated where the Linge River meets the Merwede in the heart of this old fortress town.
The harbor's origins date to around 1300, when it was constructed as a dug eastern city moat; the oldest known document referencing it dates from October 18, 1324.
Boats entering through the narrow Linge lock pass directly through the picturesque old city center, making the approach itself a highlight.
The harbor serves as a municipal transit marina with approximately 85 berths, including box moorings, finger pontoons, and alongside spaces. Between the Lingesluis and the Peterbrug, around 25 berths are available with no bridge height restrictions.
The quayside is lined with historic houses and warehouses, and shops, restaurants, and cultural venues are close at hand. The harbor is accessible from the Merwede on one side and from the Linge, the Merwede Canal, and the Steenenhoek Canal on the other.
