The city of Borculo
Borculo began as a settlement near where, at the time, the Berkel joined a smaller stream called the Grolse Slinge. Geesteren is a village in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is located in the municipality of Berkelland, about 2 km north of Borculo. [1] In the 12th century a castle called the Hof van Borculo was built. A defensive wall surrounding the village was constructed in 1348. The village received city rights in 1375. City rights are a medieval phenomenon in the history of the Low Countries. The city wall is demolished, but parts of the defensive moat which was also used as a trading route over the Berkel to the city's along the Berkel (such as Zutphen), can still be found in Borculo. Zutphen is a city in the province of Gelderland in the Netherlands.
In 1777 the region came into the possession of Stadtholder William V, after which the castle was demolished and rebuilt. Most of the castle was demolished in 1869-1870, but parts of the keep still exist. A keep is a strong central Tower which is used as a dungeon or a fortress
Today, Borculo is probably known best for the tornado that destroyed much of the village on August 10, 1925. A tornado is a violent rotating column of air which is in contact with both the surface of the earth and a Cumulonimbus cloud or in rare cases the base of a Cumulus Events 612 BC - Killing of Sinsharishkun, King of Assyrian Empire Year 1925 ( MCMXXV) was a Common year starting on Thursday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar.
