🌸A super comprehensive guide to a one-day trip to Thorn, Netherlands. . 🌟 History: Thorn, known as the "White City" of the Netherlands, hides an unusual history. At the end of the 18th century, Thorn suffered a heavy blow under French rule. In 1794, the French invasion broke the tranquility here, and the nobles fled, leaving empty mansions. The subsequent tax policy forced the poor to replace large windows with small ones and cover them with white paint, forming today's unique "scars of poverty" style.
