Veenendaal, Municipality in Utrecht Province, Netherlands.

The central town spans 19.72 square kilometers and contains two covered shopping centers with more than 300 stores in its vehicle-free downtown area.

Founded as a peat colony in the 16th century by Gilbert van Schoonbeke, Veenendaal transformed into a wool and cigar manufacturing center after the 1855 flood.

Museum Veenendaal, operated by 80 volunteers, presents exhibitions about local history, including displays about the devastating flood of 1855.

Veenendaal connects to major cities through regular train services from Veenendaal De Klomp station, with departures every 30 minutes to Utrecht and Arnhem.

The Groene Grens represents an intentionally undeveloped green belt that serves as a natural pasture and provides habitat for numerous bird species.
