"Plattegrond van Coevorden" is a detailed plan of the Dutch town of Coevorden, drawn by Samuel Du Ry de Champdoré in the early 18th century. The meticulous drawing shows the town's star-shaped fortifications, a common design feature in Dutch military architecture of the period, as well as the inner layout of streets and buildings. This map provides a valuable historical record of Coevorden's urban planning and defense systems during this era, highlighting the town's strategic importance in the Dutch Republic.
