Municipality named after the small village of Vlist (which has no church) and also consisting of the town of Haastrecht and the village of Stolwijk.
The reformed church
of
Haastrecht is a mostly Gothic church with a part Romanesque tower from
the 13th and 14th century. After the church was largely destroyed in
1575, it was rebuilt in 1609-1611, probably in its former late-15th
century state, except for the choir which, now the church was in
protestant hands, was no longer needed.
