This captivating colorized footage unveils the quaint town of Waddinxveen, Netherlands, in 1922—nearly a century ago—nestled in Zuid-Holland near the cheese-and-candle hub of Gouda. Perched along the river Gouwe, the film reveals the iconic drawbridge, picturesque old Dutch houses, and steaming boats gliding through the waterways, all bathed in vibrant hues. Founded in 1233 by Count Floris IV, Waddinxveen’s serene charm shines, set to the beautiful piano music of Belgian artist Franco Di Nitto ("A Memory of Vienna" and "Album for Children" by William Gillock). A delightful journey for history buffs and Dutch culture lovers eager to explore a forgotten corner of the Netherlands.
