Vijfhuizen (municipality of Haarlemmermeer)

betekenis & definitie

Village in the Haarlemmermeer polder, created shortly after 1852 in a bend of the Ringdijk. The name Vijfhuizen is already on a map from 1531, but that village was later swallowed by the Haarlemmermeer. The oldest buildings are located on the Kromme Spieringweg and the Vijfhuizerdijk. After the Second World War, the village on the east side expanded.
