Culture and local history in Nootdorp

The H. Bartholomeus Church in Nootdorp was built between 1869 and 1871 in the neo-Gothic style, based on a design by E.J. Margry. The houses at numbers 12 and 12a on Dorpsstraat are of cultural and historical value; they are considered representative examples of the street's original development. Ponybrunch is also part of Nootdorp's traditions and grew out of the town's long-standing trotting-racing history.
