Garden village Vreewijk

This ‘pretty village’ in the city, located in the Feijenoord district, was built over a hundred years ago as one of the first and largest garden cities in the Netherlands. Together with M.J. Grandpré-Molière and A.J.Th. Kok, in particular architect Pieter Verhagen, took care of the beautiful urban development and green structure of Tuindorp Vreewijk.

In recent years, many homes have been modernized and the streetscape has been returned to its authentic state. In addition, this green oasis in Rotterdam houses the highest density of national monuments. From homes, gardens to school buildings have been awarded this most important title.

UrbanGuides takes you past dwellings, gardens, schools, canals, parks in ‘the garden of Rotterdam’ and discover the power and beauty of one of the city’s most special residential areas.

A visit to the garden village of Vreewijk can always be combined with a lunch or a drink at the historic restaurant Het Witte Paard.
