Carillon Leerdam
Highlight • Monument
The bells of the carillon were removed because they were due for major maintenance, which was done in Asten at the bell foundry Koninklijke Eijsbouts.
"Joep van Brussel, deputy director of the bell foundry, believes that the carillon should definitely return to Leerdam: "We live in a throwaway society. We work with bells every day at our company. They sometimes date back to 1200 and are therefore already about 800 years old. What do we make these days that lasts that long? We are talking about something that may still be there in 300 years; we shouldn't throw that away, should we? That would be a shame, wouldn't it?"

In 2024, it is clear that a favorable decision has been made about the fate of the carillon!

Glassblowers in Leerdam
Highlight • Monument
On September 3, 1877, a limited partnership was formed, whereby Jeekel, Mijnssen and O.H.L. Nieuwenhuijzen acted as managing partners. This company set itself the objective of operating a factory of semi-crystal and crystal. Initially, business was difficult and it was necessary to obtain most of the equipment, tools and even the necessary workers from abroad. Jeekel died in 1885 and was succeeded by C. Nortier Azn, who had been a limited partner until then. From now on, Nieuwenhuijzen came more to the fore.
The company established trade relations with foreign countries and continents, and many tradesmen came to Leerdam
