Holten is a small town located on the main rail line between Deventer and Armelo. It is situated in a woodsy area, in the middle of the Holterberg. Holten hosts a very large WWII-cemetery with mostly Canadian casualties of war.
[edit] Rijssen
Rijssen received city rights on the 5th of May, 1243. The original city rights bill was lost in a large fire that swept through the city, reducing the city hall and the keep to rubble, but in the year 2006 a copy was given to the newly instated city council.
