Kruisweg

Kruisweg is a rural hamlet in Lansingerland situated north of the A12 motorway between Zoetermeer and Moerkapelle municipalities. The settlement combines residential homes, farmland, and water areas into a landscape that remains largely open and agricultural.

The settlement appeared on maps from 1850 onward and was connected by rail from 1870 to 1938 linking The Hague and Gouda. This railway line significantly shaped the area's development until the route was closed.

The hamlet retains its rural character with scattered farmhouses and residential buildings that reflect the traditional settlement pattern of the region. Visitors can experience this countryside atmosphere while walking through the open landscape.

Visitors should know that larger shops and services are located about three kilometers away in Zoetermeer and Moerkapelle. The Lansingerland-Zoetermeer station provides the nearest public transport connections for getting around the area.

The hamlet lost its village status in 2004 after the closure of its school and was placed on the Red List of Threatened Places. This change marked a turning point in the history of what was once a thriving community.
