drenthe

Neolithic

The fact that Drenthe was already inhabited by people during the Neolithic period is evidenced by the presence of 52 dolmens.

These are funerary monuments, consisting of boulders that were brought in from Scandinavia by ice during the penultimate ice age.
Of the 53 dolmens that occur in the Netherlands, 52 are in Drenthe.
At the beginning of the nineteenth century, Drenthe was largely waste ground in an isolated region. Drenthe has been the largest supplier of peat that served as fuel throughout the Netherlands.

It is the least populated province and it has managed to preserve its rural character. That is still pleasant to feel.

COAT OF ARMS

The coat of arms reads: “In gold, seated on a golden throne, Mary of natural color with a golden crown of three lilies, and clothed in a robe of gules over which a cloak of azure, holding in her right hand a golden scepter, ending in a lily and holding on the left knee the seated Child Jesus of natural colour, clothed of silver, the shield covered with a throat-lined golden crown of five leaves, four pearls and three diadems, and held by two lions of gold, tongued and nailed with throat. “//c//cl
