The town hall of Nieuwpoort is a town hall in the Dutch town of Nieuwpoort, province of South Holland. In order to better defend Holland, a new rampart was built around Nieuwpoort in the years 1673-1695. Part of this modernization was the construction of a new town hall. The building was built in 1697. The town hall has a landing at the front. The roof is crowned by a surrounding hipped roof with an open dome tower. The building stands on a covered area of the Haven with a weigh house with a curved gable at the rear. It has been protected as a national monument since 1968. Museum Nieuwpoort is located in the town hall. Source: Wikipedia

The Lekdijk is a long dike that winds along the river Lek. The dike was originally constructed to protect the area from the river currents, which often led to flooding in the past. Thanks to the dike and other waterworks, the area is now safe for habitation and agriculture. The dike is still partly the border between the land and the river, and offers a beautiful view of the water and the surrounding landscape.

In the heart of Nieuwpoort, a charming fortified town in the Alblasserwaard, stands the historic Town Hall, a building that testifies to the town's resilience and rich history. Situated on the banks of the Lek River, this striking building tells the story of Nieuwpoort, where water has always played a crucial role in the town's development. Within the walls of the old Town Hall is the Nieuwpoort Museum, where visitors of all ages are taken on an interactive journey through time. The museum focuses on the turbulent times of battle, destruction and occupation that the town experienced, with a particular focus on the disaster year of 1672. This year marked a turning point in Nieuwpoort's history when it became part of the old Dutch Water Line, a defensive line that played an important role in protecting against invasion.

The village got its name from a former landowner, Willem van Blassekijn, a nobleman from the Alblasserwaard. Over the years the name has slowly changed from Grauelant to Blaskens Graveland and Blassekinsgraeve, among others, to Bleskensgraaf. It is a former lordship that was originally part of the lordship of De Lek. In 1706 Gerard van Brandwijk acquired ownership of the lordship. Since the beginning of the 19th century the lordship title has been in the hands of the van der Elst family (of Bleskensgraaf), who to this day have the right to fish in the Graafstroom.
