capital city of the duchy of Limburgh, in the Austrian Netherlands, is seated on a steep rock near the river Velle. This town is small, but pleasantly seated on a hill, with shady woods; and consists chiefly of one broad street, not very well built. It is strong by situation, and almost inaccessible; however, it was taken by the French in 1675, and by the confederates under the duke of Marlborough in 1663, for the house of Austria, to whom it remains by the treaties of Rastadt and Baden, after having been dismantled. It is famous for its cheese, which is exceeding good. E. Long. 6. 8. N. Lat. 50. 40.
