Spijkenisse, Residential town in South Holland, Netherlands.

Spijkenisse extends across 30 square kilometers of land near the Oude Maas River, forming part of the Greater Rotterdam metropolitan region.

The settlement received its name in 1231, deriving from 'spieke' and 'nesse', indicating its position on a land projection into the river.

The town maintains its connection to maritime heritage through its location along the Oude Maas River and historical fishing traditions.

Metro lines C and D connect Spijkenisse to Rotterdam, with stations at Centrum, Heemraadlaan, and De Akkers serving local transportation needs.

The town features seven bridges constructed in 2011 that reproduce architectural designs from Euro banknotes at actual scale.
