Carnisse Church

Carnisse Church is located at Noordersingel 30, 2993 TA Barendrecht, Netherlands and serves as a place of worship specifically for Protestant denominations.

The religion practiced at Carnisse Church is Christianity, specifically Protestantism.

The church is situated within the administrative area of South Holland (Zuid-Holland) and the country of Netherlands.
It is located in Carnisselande, a stadsdeel in the gemeente Barendrecht, which is built around the old buurtschap Carnisse.

Carnisselande consists of approximately 7,500 homes and over 14,000 inhabitants. Although it falls under the municipality of Barendrecht, many residents feel more associated with the nearby city of Rotterdam. The majority of residents are originally from Rotterdam as well.

The stadsdeel is situated to the west of the A29 highway, south of the A15 highway, and north of the Oude Maas river.
It extends westward to include the former village core Smitshoek and borders the Carnisse Grienden.

To the west lies Portland, a development neighborhood with 2,500 homes. Adjacent to the A29 is the Vaanpark industrial area, which includes the Barendrecht branch of IKEA.

History of Carnisselande

The construction of this Vinex neighborhood began in 1997, simultaneously with Portland and Vaanpark.
The area receives great appreciation for its vast variety in architecture and urban planning.

A notable landmark is the Jan Gerritse Heuvel, also known as Gaatkensbult, which serves as an observation point to the south of this neighborhood.

This viewpoint offers a view stretching to the skyline of Rotterdam and the Botlek area, as well as to the south over the Oude Maas river and the Hoeksche Waard.
Part of the hill is made up of land that remained after the construction of nearby Gaatkens Plas.

Notable Events

Gaaktens Plas gained national attention in July 2006 due to massive fish mortality.
Since October 25, 2004, RET line 25 has been operating from Schiebroek in Rotterdam-Noord to the new shopping center Carnisse Veste.
