History & geography

History

It was first called Beneden-Leeuwen in 1986 to distinguish from Boven-Leeuwen. Leeuwen was first attested in the 12th century as Lewen, and means "settlement near burial hill". The village developed along the Waal. In 1898, a Catholic church was built in Beneden-Leeuwen, and the village split in a Catholic (beneden) and a Protestant (boven) village. The St. Alphonsus de Liguori Church was built between 1898 and 1900. In 1840, the entire village of Leeuwen was home to 2,128 people. Windmill De Wielewaal is a grist mill built in 1857.
