Hoofddorp, Administrative center in Haarlemmermeer, Netherlands
The town extends across a flat landscape with modern buildings, residential neighborhoods, commercial zones, and numerous parks distributed throughout its territory.
The establishment of Hoofddorp in 1853 followed the drainage of Haarlemmermeer lake, marking a significant land reclamation project in Dutch engineering history.
The Cultuurgebouw complex houses multiple venues for performances, exhibitions, and community gatherings, serving as the main cultural center for local residents.
The central train station provides direct connections to Amsterdam, Schiphol Airport, and Leiden, with regular services operating from early morning until late evening.
De Eersteling windmill, constructed in 1856 as the first mill in the reclaimed Haarlemmermeer area, stands as a functional historical monument.
