Nieuwegein, Municipality in Utrecht province, Netherlands
Nieuwegein sits at an elevation of 1 meter above sea level, bordered by Utrecht to the north and the Lek River to the south.
The city emerged in 1971 through the merger of Jutphaas and Vreeswijk municipalities to accommodate the expanding population of Utrecht.
Museum Wars Hoeck, located in an old farmhouse, displays artifacts from the Middle Paleolithic period through contemporary local history.
Three major motorways surround the city: A2 to the west, A12 to the north, and A27 to the east, connecting it to national transportation networks.
The name derives from an old settlement called Geyne, which received city rights in 1295 but vanished in 1333 during a regional conflict.
