Biesland

Biesland was a municipality in the Dutch province of South Holland.

It was located to the east of the city of Delft.

In the Middle Ages, Biesland was a manor of 3.9 km2, owned first by the lords of Alkemade, and then by the city of Delft.

[1] When the local government was reorganized by the French occupation in 1812, Biesland was added to Pijnacker, but it became a separate municipality again in 1817.
