The village full of stories

Uithoorn lies on the River Amstel and has a long history. In places such as the historic Rechthuis, you can still clearly see that past. This is where justice was once administered and where a ferry used to cross the Amstel. The Thamerkerk, built in the 19th century on the site of an older church, also shows just how long people have been gathering here. As you walk through the village, you’ll discover traces of the past everywhere. Take the old station, for example, which serves as a reminder of Uithoorn’s railway heritage.
