Top places to visit

1. 4.5 Waddinxveense Hefbrug (2 reviews)
   - Still operational
   Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks • Architectural Buildings • Bridges
   
   
   From the mid 1930s until now this Hefbrug (Lift bridge) has been working as it should with only very short intervals like in 2011 (disruption due to power failure) and in 2012 when a renovation took place and bikelanes were added on both sides. In Boskoop and Alphen are bridges of a similar design. They were constructed during a process of canalization of the Gouwe river, which is an essential route for boat traffic between Rotterdam and Amsterdam. Over the years these monumental lift bridges over the Gouwe have become part of the landscape and can be seen from far away. For me as a cyclist good for orientation. See more..
   
2. 4.0 Brugkerk (1 review)
   - Charming church in neo-classical style
   Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks • Churches & Cathedrals
   
   
   Called 'brugkerk' because of its proximity to the lift bridge further up the road. Charming in white and yellow colors with two columns at both sides of its entrance, this small church was built in 1837 in neo-classical style. The facade is topped by a small tower with clock. Appealing because of its symmetry. Active center of the Dutch reformed community in Waddinxveen. Every Sunday there are two services at 9:30AM and 5PM. The church is open 30 minutes prior to service.
