The Amsterdam-Rhine Canal is a canal in the Netherlands, between Amsterdam and Tiel. It connects the port of Amsterdam with the Ruhr area and is the busiest canal in the world. About 100,000 ships cross the canal every year. The canal is 72 kilometers long, 100 to 120 meters wide and 6 to 9 meters deep

Sint-Nicolaaskerk Nieuwegein

Highlight • Religious Site

Before the Sint-Nicolaas Church was put into use in 1875, church services had been held in the barn church on the Overeind (now: the Malapertweg) since 1688. This barn church stood approximately where the Structuurbaan and the Malapertweg now cross. This church had now become too small. That is why a piece of building land was purchased in 1870, located where Schoolstraat now runs, with the intention of building a new church there. Due to health problems, the incumbent pastor C.H. left. van der Grindt moved to a smaller parish (Benschop) in early March 1873.
