Heenweg

Heenweg is a small hamlet in Westland where residential properties sit alongside traditional farmhouses and modern greenhouse facilities spread across the landscape. The settlement blends rural farming traditions with contemporary horticultural operations throughout the area.

The name Heenweg first appears in 1566 in cartographic records of the Regular Canons Monastery at 's-Gravenzande, as 'Heen Wech', revealing early links to religious administration. This connection shaped land use and settlement patterns in the area for centuries.

The local primary school, De Kameleon, serves as a social hub where residents gather for school events and community activities. It anchors daily life and helps maintain bonds between families in the hamlet.

The hamlet is accessed by local roads connecting to nearby towns, and regular bus services link the area to larger municipalities. Planning time for exploration is worthwhile, as facilities and services are scattered across the rural landscape.

Located where traditional farming meets modern greenhouse cultivation, the hamlet ranks as one of only two smallest villages in the entire Westland region. This rare position offers visitors a chance to see agricultural heritage and contemporary horticulture coexisting side by side.
