Hollandsche Rading is a village in the Dutch province of Utrecht. It is a part of the municipality of De Bilt, and lies about 5 km south of Hilversum. Hollandsche Rading has a railway station on the route between Utrecht and Hilversum.

The name means "Border of Holland": the village is located on the border between the provinces Utrecht and North Holland.

History

[edit | edit source]

It was first mentioned in 1696 as Die Hollantse Radinge, but had been the border since 1352.[3] The border is nowadays just to the north of the village. Up to 1930, Hollandsche Rading mainly consisted of heath.[4] Yet, in 1885, a railway station was constructed in the hamlet.[5] The houses were built for the people returning from the Dutch East Indies. In 1938, a church was built.[4]
