Voorschoten, Historic village in South Holland, Netherlands
Voorschoten stretches across 11.59 square kilometers of land between Leiden and The Hague, featuring traditional Dutch architecture and green spaces throughout the municipality.
The settlement received its market rights from Count Floris V of Holland in 1282, marking a significant milestone in its development as a commercial center.
The municipality maintains two principal religious buildings: the historic center church and the St. Laurentius Church, which serve as gathering places for local communities.
The railway station on the Amsterdam-Rotterdam line connects residents and visitors to major Dutch cities, with frequent services to The Hague and Amsterdam.
Castle Duivenvoorde and Manor Vredenhof stand as testaments to the architectural heritage of the region, representing centuries of Dutch noble residences.
