The Alblasserwaard is a beautiful, typically Dutch polder area nestled between the Lek, Noord, and Merwede rivers. Besides the towns of Ameide, Nieuwpoort, and Gorinchem, it boasts several striking villages. This book shows how the area has developed over the years, describes the surrounding area and its roads, and details all the important buildings. These include fortifications, windmills, pumping stations, locks, and bridges, as well as town halls, courthouses, water board houses, churches, towers, castles, and country houses. It also provides a glimpse into farms, business premises, and houses.
