Parking near Leidsche Rijn

Leidsche Rijn is a new residential development and neighborhood located west of the Amsterdam-Rijn Canal in Utrecht, Netherlands, named for the Leidse Rijn canal that runs through it. At the outset of Vinex operations in the 1990s and subsequent decades, Leidsche Rijn was the largest Vinex site in the Netherlands, comprising most of its territory located within what used to be Vleuten-De Meern municipality, west of Utrecht city center. Hoge en Lage Weide was an area situated within Utrecht municipality; Vleuten-De Meern was officially integrated with Utrecht on January 1st 2001 and intended for approximately 30,000 homes for about 90,000 inhabitants. Utrecht city council decided to divide this municipality into two neighborhoods, known as Vleuten-De Meern and Leidsche Rijn. Although grouped separately, these two are still the two largest residential communities within Utrecht in terms of population size - approximately 50K people inhabit these respective neighborhoods respectively.

Harmelen marked where both branches rejoined, with Vleuten being served by its northern branch and De Meern receiving its southern branch. Only fragments remain, yet both branches still leave distinct marks around Leidsche Rijn, Vleuten and De Meern; many parts were garden land prior to large new construction projects like Leidsche Rijn commencing due to deposits left from an unpredictable Rhine riverbed that changed course many times due to no dikes being available for protection.

Roman troops decided in the first century of our era to build a fortified permanent army camp at this relatively high location in De Meern. Called Fletio(ne), according to contemporary scholarship this name seems questionable; nothing remains except soil finds from this castellum in which its exact same spot was later rebuilt by our team in 2015. This "rebuilt version" was named Castellum Hoge Woerd...
