Nieuwpoort Travel Guide: 8 reviews and 26 photos

As we were driving on the bus to Kinderdijk, we passed the city of Nieuwpoort and I decided that it was such a charming little place, it definately needed a visit. Nieuwpoort is a tiny city in the municipality of Liesveld. It has the number of inhabitants to be called a village, but because the place was given city rights in 1283, it still is called a city.

In 2001, the town of Nieuwpoort had 619 inhabitants. The built-up area of the town was 0.092 km², and contained 230 residences. The statistical area "Nieuwpoort", which also can include the surrounding countryside, has a population of around 1370 (2006).
