Strijen, Agricultural town in Hoeksche Waard, Netherlands
Strijen occupies a section of land at sea level, surrounded by fertile fields and waterways within the Hoeksche Waard municipality of South Holland.
The town evolved from an independent municipality established in 1812 until January 2019, when it merged with neighboring areas to form the larger Hoeksche Waard administration.
Strijen maintains regular agricultural celebrations throughout the year, connecting residents to the farming heritage that characterizes the South Holland region.
The town features essential facilities including a public library, swimming pool, shopping center, and museum, serving the daily needs of its 8,700 residents.
