Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht

Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht is a municipality in South Holland located on the island of IJsselmonde. The town sits on flat terrain shaped by waterways that are part of the local landscape.

The area was already settled around 1000 CE and remained under the control of the Bishop of Utrecht for centuries. A Reformed Church was added in the 14th century and still stands as a landmark in the town.

The Reformed Church from the 14th century stands as a central religious structure in the municipality, representing local architectural and spiritual heritage.

The place sits on flat terrain and is best explored on foot or by bicycle. Its manageable size makes it easy for visitors to navigate and see the main areas.

The current name was once much longer and was simplified in the middle of the 19th century. This change reflects how several Dutch municipalities streamlined their names over time.
