Maassluis, Harbor town in South Holland, Netherlands
The municipality of Maassluis extends along both sides of the Nieuwe Waterweg, connected by bridges and featuring maritime infrastructure throughout its 10 square kilometers.
Originally named Maeslandsluys in 1340, the settlement developed around a crucial lock system between the North Sea and Rotterdam, receiving its town rights in 1811.
The Grote Kerk, constructed between 1629 and 1639, stands as the central religious structure with its characteristic architecture and bell tower visible across town.
The town maintains regular transportation connections to Rotterdam through train services, with the central station offering departures every 30 minutes throughout the day.
The National Towage Museum preserves the heritage of maritime operations, displaying historical vessels and equipment used in the Netherlands' waterway transportation system.
