Lekpoort
The Lekpoort is the only remaining town gate of Vianen. Together with the Oostpoort and the Landpoort, it formed the gateway to the walled town centre until the 19th Century.
Hagestein dam complex
In the context of the Rhine canalisation, the Rijkswaterstaat constructed 3 almost identical weir complexes on the Lek near Hagestein, Amerongen and Driel, with which a large part of the Netherlands’ water management could be monitored.
Wiel van Bassa
The Wheel of Bassa (also known as Schoonrewoerdse Wiel or Kruidhof Wheel) is a body of water measuring 13 hectares, making it the largest breakthrough wheel in the Netherlands.
Glass studio
Step inside the glassblower’s workshop at the National Glass Museum’s glass studio.
South ramparts with mouse towers
Leerdam's origins as a fortified city are still evident in the south ramparts with their ‘mouse towers’.
Windmill Ter Leede
Come see Leerdam's working windmill every Saturday afternoon! Ter Leede is open Saturdays from 13.00 - 16.00, provided the windmill is turning (also by appointment). Miller Bas de Deugd will be happy to tell you all about this mill's special history.
Vianen water tower
The Vianen water tower stands in a meadow on the outskirts of the town. The tower was built in 1909 by the Koninklijke Rotterdamsche Betonijzer Maatschappij based on a revolutionary design by Roelof Kuipers.
