The statue of William of Orange in Dordrecht, designed by Arie Schippers, was unveiled in 2019 by Princess Beatrix. It stands on Hofstraat, near the site of the First Assembly of the Free States in 1572. William is depicted with a dog at his feet, symbolizing loyalty. The pedestal bears the names of twelve Dutch cities that supported him in the fight against Spain. The statue caused some controversy due to local sentiments surrounding the De Witt brothers.

The name Kuipershaven is not correct because it should be Wolwevershaven. The Kuipershaven is the street that runs along it. Incidentally, there are some photos placed that were not taken at the Wolwevershaven.
