Spijkenisse, Residential town in South Holland, Netherlands.
Spijkenisse is a residential town in South Holland situated along the Oude Maas and part of the greater Rotterdam area. The town consists of neighborhoods, parks, and waterways that shape how people live and move around.
The name Spijkenisse comes from the 13th century, derived from 'spieke' and 'nesse', words describing a land point projecting into the river. Over time, the settlement evolved from a fishing village into a modern residential area connected by rail.
The town maintains its maritime roots through its location on the Oude Maas, where water-based trades once shaped daily routines. Today, residents and visitors use the riverbanks and waterfront paths as places to meet and spend time outdoors.
The town is well served by metro lines C and D, with stations at Centrum, Heemraadlaan, and De Akkers making it easy to navigate. These connections to Rotterdam and beyond help you explore neighboring areas without difficulty.
The town features seven bridges designed to reproduce architectural elements from Euro banknotes at full scale. These unusual structures blend art, economics, and engineering in a playful and unexpected way.
