Leiderdorp, Suburban town near Leiden, Netherlands

The municipality of Leiderdorp extends over 12.28 square kilometers along the Oude Rijn and Zijl rivers in South Holland province.

The area contained three medieval castles: Huis ter Zijl from 1260, Huis ter Does from 1300, and Huis Berendrecht from 1420.

The Protestant Dorpskerk church, completed in 1620, remains a central point for religious and community gatherings in Leiderdorp.

The HSL-Zuid high-speed rail line connecting Amsterdam to Brussels passes through Leiderdorp via an underground tunnel system.

Archaeological findings reveal that hunters and fishers lived on elevated lands around the river during the Iron Age period.
