Noordereiland, River island in Feijenoord, Netherlands.

Noordereiland stands in the Nieuwe Maas river, connected to Rotterdam by the Willemsbrug and Koninginnebrug bridges with a population of 3600 residents.

The area transformed from a sandbank with admiralty gallows in the 1600s to an island through the excavation of Noorderhaven between 1872 and 1874.

The Wilhelminafontein at Burgemeester Hoffmanplein, designed by Henri Evers in 1898, marks Queen Wilhelmina's rise to the Dutch throne.

The island maintains connections to Rotterdam through bridges and ferry services, offering residential spaces and protected architectural structures along its waterfront.

The island remained intact during the 1940 German bombardment as the Luftwaffe avoided attacking due to German forces stationed there.
