Sleeuwijk

Sleeuwijk is a village in the Dutch province of North Brabant and part of the municipality of Altena.

The village was first mentioned in 1268 as "Tyberio de Slewijck" and is a combination of neighbourhood and blunt.

During the 20th century, the ferry caused long delays, and was replaced by the Merwedebrug [nl] in 1961.

[5] Historically, it was part of the Land of Altena and was administered by Woudrichem.

[6] The village is home to various sports clubs, including tennis, swimming, ice skating and korfball, two primary and two secondary schools and a number of shops in the shopping centre called de Nieuwe Es.
