Liesveld: Polder Municipality in the Alblasserwaard
Flat dairy farmland, narrow ditches, and ribbon villages along the dikes characterise Liesveld. The former municipality, now part of the gemeente Molenlanden since 2019, encompasses settlements including Groot-Ammers, Nieuwpoort, and Langerak in the Alblasserwaard polder. About 9,767 people live across these villages in South Holland.
Nieuwpoort, one of the smaller fortified towns in the Netherlands, still has its star-shaped ramparts and a compact historic centre. The Lek river forms the northern boundary. The area is deeply rural, with dairy farming as the primary economic activity. Gorinchem is about 10 kilometres east, Dordrecht roughly 20 kilometres west.
