Welcome in Goor

In 1263, Goor received its city rights and became the political centre of Twente. As a result of Thomas Ainsworth founding the first textile school in 1833 in Goor, the ‘Twentse Haagje’ has played an important role in the regional textile industry. Scattered throughout Goor are remarkable works of art, which can be seen along the Art walking tour. Other highlights are the Braak mill, the Klompenmuseum (wooden shoes) and Thomas Ainsworth’s tomb. The yearly school and folk fest, and the 4-day autumn bicycle tour are important examples of Goor’s traditions.
