'''Lienden''' is a village in the [Dutch](/source/Netherlands) province of [Gelderland](/source/Gelderland). It is a part of the municipality of [Buren](/source/Buren), and lies about 9&nbsp;km south of [Veenendaal](/source/Veenendaal).

Lienden was a separate municipality until 1999, when it was merged with [Buren](/source/Buren).<ref>{{Repertorium Nederlandse Gemeenten}}</ref>

== History ==
It was first mentioned in 970 as Liendna. It may refer to the linden tree (''[Tilia](/source/Tilia)''), however the etymology is unclear.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/lienden |title=Lienden - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=21 March 2022 |language=nl}}</ref> The village originated along the [Oude Rijn](/source/Oude_Rijn_(Gelderland)), however the river became non-navigable around 1200. The Dutch Reformed Church was built around 1400, and the tower dates from 1450.<ref name="monument">{{cite web|url=https://dbnl.org/tekst/sten009monu05_01/sten009monu05_01_0138.php |title=Lienden  |author=Ronald Stenvert & Sabine Broekhoven |page=221 |year=2000 |publisher=Waanders |location=Zwolle |isbn=90 400 9406 3 |language=nl |access-date=20 March 2022}}</ref> In 1840, it was home to 829 people.<ref name="plaats">{{cite web |url=https://www.plaatsengids.nl/lienden |title=Lienden |website=Plaatsengids |access-date=21 March 2022 |language=nl |archive-date=21 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220321092601/https://www.plaatsengids.nl/lienden |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Windmill ''[De Zwaan](/source/De_Zwaan%2C_Lienden)'' dates from 1644 and is a [grist mill](/source/grist_mill). It was restored in 1939-1940 and 1990. The windmill is intermediate between the old towers and the later stone windmills.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://molendatabase.nl/nederland/molen.php?nummer=239 |title=De Zwaan |website=Molendatabase |access-date=21 March 2022 |language=nl}}</ref>
