Blijdorp is a neighborhood located in Rotterdam-Noord and protected as part of the Blijdorp/Bergpolder landscape, while one of its main attractions is Diergaarde Blijdorp Zoo of Rotterdam. Blijdorp's population stands at roughly 9,500 individuals.
Blijdorp was originally developed from 1931-1940 as an open polder. Blijdorp is bordered by Noorderhaven (drained in 1940), Noorderkanaal and Schie-Schie canal as well as Hoek van Holland railway line; nearby neighborhoods Bergpolder and Provenierswijk provide easy access. Draining Rotterdam Schie enabled its creation.
Blijdorp was not directly impacted by Rotterdam's bombing in 1940; however, its need for new housing caused many houseboats to line the Noorderkanaal, many of which can still be seen today. Of note is Prinsekerk church built in 1934 which features an organ dating back to 1723 that has been designated as a national monument; Statensingelkerk church was demolished in 1988 and replaced with care home instead; additionally there are Albertus de Grotekerk church as well as Albertus de Grotekerk church and synagogue in Blijdorp.
