Typical in villages between the North and the South; one big Protestant Church (very old) and one big Catholic Church (mostly from the 19th or beginning 20th century). I know, because I live in such village. My father from a Catholic family and my mother from a Protestant family 😉 So I have both sides in me, a complete Dutchman 😎

Meh, not that typical. Although the structure of the Nederlands Hervormde Kerk still follows the older church, this building has been rebuild after being destroyed in a large fire in 1900. Also the surrounding area is relatively new, the square till the direct neighboring houses where broken down in the '60s (If I am not mistaken). The Sint-Bavo church was build in 1917, replacing an older Catholic church that was on the Dorpstraat, but became to small. The church organ was moved from the older Dorpstraat church The waterway through it is the Leidse Rijn, which used to be (one) of the main estuaries of the Rhine River in Roman times, and when the Rhine river moved up to the modern route further south. In Mediëval times the County of Holland did not allow water to be drained via the Leidse Rijn / Oude Rijn ("Old Rhine") so dams where build and channels dig to drain Northwards via the Utrechtse Vecht and Amstel river closer towards Amsterdam. In the 17th century when the Trekschuit became more common as a means of transport, locks where integrated in those dams to allow transport between Utrecht (directly East) and Woerden, Bodegraven and Gouda further Westwards in Holland. Because the original river route was extremely shallow and tortuous, a new waterway (again) called Leidse Rijn was dug between Harmelen and Utrecht. The westward part is still known as Oude Rijn. It was not until way after the Amsterdam-Rijn channel was dug when all the locks and dams where removed and water could be drained westward towards the sea. The lonely tower is a Dovecote, one of the more original leftovers of one of the iterations of Huize Harmelen, a small castle to protect the fiefhood granted under the County of Holland, placed near the Bijleveld (a former side-river of the Rhine). One of several fortified houses in the area. The Hamtoren is a remnant of the Den Ham Castle near between Vleuten and Harmelen, and Castle Den Haar (although basically completely a newbuild by famous architect Pierre Cuypers (of Amsterdam Central station and Rijksmuseum fame) in 1892 under assignment of the Baron Van Zuylen van Nyeveld van Haar financed by the wealth of his wife, Hélène de Rothschild, family.
