PLAN DE MAESTRICH
- Creator
- Description
- After the capture of the city in 1632 by Frederik Hendrik, Maastricht was built up as a strong fortress at the border of the Southern Netherlands which was ruled by Spain. The military aspect is clearly distinguishable in the city plan published in Paris in 1708. It is not a coincidence that such a detailed map of a fortress was published in Paris. France was at war with the Republic and England since 1702, while the objective was the Spanish Netherlands. Though the city was never besieged, capture of this military stronghold was seriously contemplated by the French.
