Leerdam, Glass production city in South Holland, Netherlands
The small river Linge flows along Leerdam, dividing the urban landscape and creating natural boundaries through meadows and green spaces around the settlement.
Leerdam obtained its municipal rights in 1407, later becoming a possession of the House of Orange in 1551 when it joined the County of Holland.
The National Glass Museum displays collections of historical and modern glass art, while the Glass Centre allows visitors to observe skilled artisans craft crystal pieces.
The city maintains direct train connections to Utrecht and Geldermalsen, with the central station located near the glass manufacturing facilities and museum complex.
One bastion of the Castle of Good Hope in Cape Town, South Africa bears the name Leerdam, marking the Dutch colonial connection through the House of Orange-Nassau.
