After the Romans left in around 400, the history of Woerden stops. The local people moved in the Castellum but for about a thousend years the city disapears from the stages of history until it is mentioned again around 1400. By the 1500's it has become quit a prosporous town.
I live at the spot exactly between the mill and the castle you see. The (old) city outline as is shown at the manquette is still present today.
This post is so interesting.
