Moerdijk

Moerdijk has served as a river-crossing settlement on the Hollands Diep in North Brabant since the Middle Ages. This broad waterway forms part of the Rhine–Meuse delta and separates the village from the Hoeksche Waard in South Holland. Parallel motorway and railway bridges make Moerdijk an important link between Brabant and the western Netherlands. The crossing gained tragic strategic significance during the German invasion of May 1940, when German airborne troops seized the bridges. Today, the nearby Port of Moerdijk underlines the area’s continuing transport and industrial role.
