🏛 Cannon in Sloten - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)

Cannon in Sloten in Friesland, The Netherlands

Sloten in Friesland is a historic fortified town known for its well-preserved city walls and iconic onion-shaped layout. One of its highlights is a working cannon next to the 18th-century windmill “De Kaai,” which the local city militia fires every Friday evening during the summer season, accompanied by an enthusiastic city crier. This traditional cannon firing, performed in full historic dress, is a popular event that brings the town’s defense history to life and attracts visitors.

📍 Location in Rûnwei, Sloten, De Friese Meren, Frisia, Netherlands, 8556 XG, Netherlands
