The siege of Grol in 1627 was a battle between the army of the Dutch Republic and the Spanish controlled fortified city of Grol during the eighty years war and the Anglo-Spanish war in 1627. The Spanish army came to relieve Grol, but it came too late. The siege lasted from July 20 until August 19, 1627, resulting in the surrender of the city to the army of the United Provinces.


The “battle of grolle” is a regular historical reenactment of the siege. It is held in and around Groenlo itself every two years.
