Passenger Sculpture

Highlight • Monument

For the past five years, walking or cycling near the Landje van Chardon in Vlaardingen – on the corner of Burgemeester Verkadesingel and Burgemeester Heusdenslaan – you've come across this unique statue, called "Passenger."

The statue, created by artist Frans de Winter, symbolizes all the passersby who have witnessed the transformation of this place and its surroundings in recent years.

Oldest Tree of Vlaardingen

Highlight • Natural Monument

The oldest tree in Vlaardingen is a Dutch Linden (Tilia europaea), over three hundred years old, located along a path in 't Landje van Chardon.

The old tree is a protected monument in Vlaardingen and is therefore well-maintained. Every so often, the tree is pruned back to the trunk because it can no longer support heavy branches.

Het Landje van Chardon

Highlight • Natural

At the corner of Burg. Verkadesingel and Burg. Heusdenslaan in Vlaardingen Ambacht lies "Het Landje van Chardon." This was once a farmstead owned by the Vlaardingen Chardon family of cattle farmers between 1927 and 1962. Before that, it was called "Clattenburg Farm." The path leading to the oldest tree in Vlaardingen is lined with beautiful plane trees that once formed the driveway to the farmstead.

De Twist (Vlaardingervaart Bridge)

Highlight • Bridge

The mtb part is especially fun, you can choose the blue and red route and then continue the komoot route through a surprising nature reserve. There is a part where there is little or no cycling and a challenging part through 20 to 30 cm of water with a muddy surface, I really enjoyed it, especially because we both did not fall

Emaus Cemetery

Highlight • Historical Site

The Emaus cemetery was established in 1829 on the site of an orchard. The buildings, which acquired their current appearance in 2014, served as a coach house (left), a gravedigger's house (right), a waiting room, and a toll gatekeeper's house (due to the toll gate on the border between Vlaardingen and Vlaardinger-Ambacht). The four Vlaardingen tolls were abandoned on New Year's Eve 1930. The complex was designated a municipal monument in 2017.
