- Rhoonse Veer
Rhoonse Veer is a former hamlet, located south of the Dutch town of
Rhoon . The name means "Rhoon's ferry", and refers to the ferry between Rhoon andOud-Beijerland .The hamlet grew around the catholic church of Rhoon. After the
Reformation , the catholics in the area lost their church in Rhoon to the protestant majority, but the lord of Rhoon, Willem Bentinck, allowed them to build a new church near the ferry in 1684. [Gemeente Albrandswaard, "Wandelroute Rhoon" [http://www.albrandswaard.nl/index.php?pagid=38&simaction=content&stukid=2555] ]The hamlet no longer exists; it is now a part of the town of Rhoon itself. There is still a ferry called "Rhoonsveer"; it departs from the marina 500 m south of the former hamlet of Rhoonse Veer, with service to
Spijkenisse and Oud-Beijerland. [http://www.rhoonsveer.nl/]References
