Waardenburg Boundary Marker

Highlight • Monument

Flirting with the border is one of my sins. I can't just pass a boundary marker.
Here is one of the Glory Buren. Glory, derived from 'lord', means government authority as private(!) property. Glory exists in various forms, the highest form being free glory. Of this it was said that only God was above it. Neighbors has been such a free lord and the lord completely his own boss.

It is a beautiful, wooded area located along the banks of the Waal. Containing two special buildings, Waardenburg Castle and Huis Neerijnen. Both with a moat and Huis Neerijnen even with a drawbridge and a coach house. And of course with beautiful stories.

Anne Frank Tree Sapling Memorial

Highlight • Monument

The Anne Frank tree in Neerijnen is a special and symbolic monument that commemorates Anne Frank and the tragedy of the Holocaust. It is a cutting of the original horse chestnut that stood at the Secret Annex in Amsterdam, where Anne Frank and her family were in hiding during the Second World War.

### Background of the original tree
The original Anne Frank tree was a white horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) and stood in the garden behind the Secret Annex. Anne mentioned this tree several times in her diary, in which she described how she could see it from the small window of the hiding place. For her, the tree was a symbol of hope and freedom in a time of great fear and uncertainty. Unfortunately, the original tree fell in 2010 due to poor condition due to disease and storm damage.


### The Anne Frank tree in Neerijnen
The cutting in Neerijnen is one of the trees that were grown from the seeds of the original chestnut before it fell. Planting this tree is a way to honor Anne Frank's legacy and message of hope and tolerance. Neerijnen was chosen because of the serene and natural character of the area, which offers a place of reflection.


### Meaning of the tree
The tree in Neerijnen, like other Anne Frank trees planted worldwide, symbolizes the fight against injustice, anti-Semitism and discrimination. It is a living monument that reminds visitors to reflect on the past and work towards a peaceful future.

Reformed Church Neerijnen and Waardenburg

Highlight • Religious Site

The Reformed Church in Neerijnen dates from 1865. The Reformed Church in Neerijnen dates from 1865. The church stands out because an ocher yellow stone has been used. The church was painted white in 1975, but the 2004 restoration brought it back to its original color.

Huis Neerijnen

Highlight • Castle

It is a beautiful, wooded area located along the banks of the Waal. Containing two special buildings, Waardenburg Castle and Huis Neerijnen. Both with a moat and Huis Neerijnen even with a drawbridge and a coach house. And of course with beautiful stories.

The castle, originally called 'Klingelenburg', was a residential tower with defensive functions. Around 1350, knight Gijsbert de Cock had this first noble house built in Neerijnen. Almost certainly on the elevated and moated site. Together with the Waardenburg castle, built in 1265 on behalf of Rudolph de Cock, it forms one estate. The residents of Neerijnen Castle used the name De Cock van Neerijnen. After the De Cock family, several families owned the estate, including Van Aylva. In 1769, Hobbe van Aylva had a front door frame installed in rococo style with a memorial stone attached to himself.
