Located by the dunes of the North Sea, with a rich history in agriculture and fishing, Noordwijk has now transformed into a modern and vibrant area. With the picturesque Old Jeroenskerk from the 13th century and the stately lighthouse decorating the landscape, Noordwijk is a perfect blend of history and future. In terms of location, this city greatly benefits from its situation on the coast of the province of South Holland. This, combined with the clear, green landscapes and the charm of typical Dutch architecture, provides an intriguing yet calming environment.
