Lienden is a village in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is a part of the municipality of Buren, and lies about 9 km south of Veenendaal.
Lienden was a separate municipality until 1999, when it was merged with Buren.[3]
History
[edit | edit source]It was first mentioned in 970 as Liendna. It may refer to the linden tree (Tilia), however the etymology is unclear.[4] The village originated along the Oude Rijn, however the river became non-navigable around 1200. The Dutch Reformed Church was built around 1400, and the tower dates from 1450.[5] In 1840, it was home to 829 people.[6]
Windmill De Zwaan dates from 1644 and is a grist mill. It was restored in 1939-1940 and 1990. The windmill is intermediate between the old towers and the later stone windmills.[7]
