's-Gravenzande: Greenhouse Capital in the Westland
's-Gravenzande has about 19,190 residents and lies in the Westland area of South Holland, within the gemeente Westland since 2004. The town is surrounded by extensive greenhouse complexes producing tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, and flowers for national and international markets. The Westland region is one of the most intensive horticultural areas in Europe, and 's-Gravenzande sits at its centre.
The town has medieval origins. The Oude Kerk dates to the 13th century, and the former Hof van Holland served as a court building. The beach area at 's-Gravenzande, known as Het Slag, offers a quieter stretch of North Sea coastline compared to nearby Kijkduin and Ter Heijde. The Westlandse Druif, a local grape variety once cultivated in heated greenhouses, is part of the area's horticultural heritage.
Den Haag is about 10 kilometres northeast. Hoek van Holland lies roughly 8 kilometres northwest. The Maasvlakte port area is accessible via the N220.
