Of course there are a lot of greenhouses in Naaldwijk Bur not so manny as there were. Place is needed now for house to live in and other buildings. Greenhouses now a day are different from the ones in the old days. The farmers need more space for more flowers or vegetables so they build them higher and bigger. A lot of people work in this greenhouses.

Flora Holland seen from "de
Tuinen"

by mafootje

Naaldwijk is famous for it's glass houses, and in those houses flowers are grown. So next to the main roads to Naaldwijk there's a large complex for selling and buying these flowers. It has recently expanded to the other side of the road making the complex even larger. The complex in Naaldwijk is the largest of five complexes Flora has in the Netherlands.

Inside the complex many companies have their offices and cooling cells to keep the flowers in the best shape to sell them.

See it with your own eyes

Ever wondered what happens to your flowers before you get them in your home ? Visit the auction it's is indoors and larger then 100 football fields.

They have a visitor route, puzzle route for children and taylor made tours.

	The historie of the holy gosht garden

Heilige geesthofje in
Naaldwijk

by Umfufu

Hendrik IV, lord of Naaldwijk, put in his testament that his money, when he died, would be used to build a house for 5 poor, old men. And he also said that it would be build on the courd of the church near the Kerklaan (Churchstreet). This one house was replaced for 5 little houses. In 1627, Frederik Hendrik (then he was lord of Naaldwijk) put 15 houses with the 5 already excisting houses. Five for men and 15 for women. And that is how this garden (hofje) found his foundaition

Trucks at the docks of the
auction

by Umfufu

People from all over the world are working in the auction. The auction in Naaldwijk has 10.000 people in the building every day. There is a restaurant (3), a snackbar (2 driving and 1 in the building), there are more then 1500 people only working for the auction in Naaldwijk. And then there is Bleiswijk, Eelde and Rijnsburg who are also part of Flora Holland.
Last mothersday there was a profit of € 48.000.000 !!
Its a little town with a lot of buildings and you will be amazed that you loose your way inside the building.
Really worth to pay a visite!

	Chapel Heilige geesthofje

Chapel of the holy gost garden

by Umfufu

The chapel you can see on my homepage about Naaldwijk is there since they build the houses. (on this picture on the left) But its also possible the chapel was build in the same time as the church and belonged to this church. (you can see the chapel on this picture from behind on the left side). Most people think that this chapel was build in name of Frederik Hendrik. His wapen (sign) is above the entrance. The chapel is since the 18th century not really a chapel any more but was used for all kind of things. Since a few years its possible to get married in this chapel (like Frans and I did in 1995).

The old tramstation in build in 1907 and is used by the Westlandsche Stoomtramweg-Maatschappij. In the second half of the 60's the tram didnt need to ride anymore. And since 1977 it is used by our foreign Dutch people from Turkey or Marrocco (cant tell if its one or the other.)
