Lisserbroek: cozy village with marinas and orchards

Between Lisse and Nieuw-Vennep you will find the village of Lisserbroek. This village has about 3435 inhabitants (2021) and is named after "het broeck van Lisse", which means "the swamp of Lisse". Lisserbroek is located on the edge of the Haarlemmermeer, in a place that has never been completely under water. This created a swampy area where the current village was founded after the reclamation. You can find a statue of a peat worker and the old small houses along the Ringvaart, as a reminder of this special history.
