Nieuwleusen (Low Saxon: ''Ni'jlusen'') is a town in the Dutch province of Overijssel with 5,913 inhabitants as of 1 January 2007.〔Gemeentegids Dalfsen 2007-2008 (Dalfsen Municipal Guide)〕 At the 2001 municipal reform, most of the former municipality of Nieuwleusen was incorporated into the municipality of Dalfsen. Part, including the Lichtmis area, was added to the municipality of Zwolle. ==Situation== The provincial road N377 (the 'Den Hulst') runs along the town, going from Hasselt in the west to Coevorden in the east. To the north are the hamlet of Punthorst and the Staatsbos state woodland in the municipality of Staphorst. South of Nieuwleusen is Dalfsen, a slightly bigger town from which the municipality takes its name. To the west, provincial road N377 and highway A28 meet at De Lichtmis, the location of a former military bulwark which provided access to the north of the country. Nieuwleusen is situated between the Vecht and Reest rivers to the south and north respectively, and is counted as part of the historical region of Salland, or latterly the (Overijssels) Vechtdal (Vecht Valley - a usage in tourism). The town has a northern and an older southern half (today called Nieuwleusen-Noord and Nieuwleusen-Zuid, respectively) separated by sports fields and facilities. The northern part has the Old and New Hulsterplas, two connected recreational bodies of water created between the nineteen-sixties and -eighties.〔(The Waterschap Groot Salland (Water Board Greater Salland) on the Hulsterplas and other bodies of water in and around Nieuwleusen ) (pdf)〕 The southern part has the Kerkenhoek area with the Grote Kerk (Great Church) from 1830, first built in 1660;〔The teacher W.G.A.J. Röring (18..-19..) wrote: 'the village church, rebuilt in 1829, dates from 1660.' (From ''Beschrijving van Overijssel en wandelingen door die provincie''.) The old building was demolished in 1829 and the new one finished the next year. (Reverend J. ter Stege (1982). ''De kerke tot Oosterveen, Geschiedenis van de Hervormde Gemeente Nieuwleusen''.) (More about the history of the Grote Kerk (Dutch) )〕 the former town hall; and the small Palthebos wood, once the possession of the Palthe family of clergy and landowners. Rural cores and former hamlets that form part of Nieuwleusen include Den Hulst to the north, De Meele to the northwest and the Ruitenveen to the southwest. New housing has been under construction for years. Construction is underway in various locations, notably to the west (the 'Westerbouwlanden').〔(Municipality of Dalfsen )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nieuwleusen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
