Nijkerk, Administrative municipality in central Gelderland, Netherlands.
Located at an elevation of 1 meter above sea level, Nijkerk contains three main population centers: Hoevelaken, Holkerveen, and Nijkerkerveen.
The settlement gained prominence after receiving city rights in 1413, following the construction of a new church that replaced the chapel destroyed by fire in 1221.
The Grote-of-Sint-Catharinakerk, constructed in the 18th century, stands as the central religious structure after multiple reconstructions throughout the centuries.
The municipality connects to major transportation routes through its railway station and proximity to motorways A1 and A28, facilitating regional travel.
The region maintains strong connections with Schenectady, New York, due to historical ties dating back to Dutch colonial settlements in North America.
