Schoonhoven on canvas, poster, wallpaper and ArtFrame by Rossum-Fotografie

Schoonhoven is located north of the Lek in the Krimpenerwaard on the N210, on the border with Utrecht. The historic strategic location on the border of Holland and the Sticht determined the shape of the city center. Schoonhoven has two ferries for cars and bicycles with a ferry across the Lek, although a driveway has been constructed for a bridge to Gelkenes. Schoonhoven is known for its silversmiths and silver industry.
