It is a part of the municipality of [Schouwen-Duiveland](/source/Schouwen-Duiveland), and lies about 28 km west of [Hellevoetsluis](/source/Hellevoetsluis). Renesse is a popular tourist resort with [zero-fare](/source/zero-fare) [bus](/source/bus) services in the area (in summer only). == History == The village was first mentioned in 1244 as Rietnesse, and is a combination of [headland](/source/headland) and [reed](/source/Reed_(plant)).{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/renesse |title=Renesse - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=21 April 2022 |language=nl}} Renesse is a circular church village near the dunes. In 1229, [Floris V, Count of Holland](/source/Floris_V%2C_Count_of_Holland) donated the land to Costijn van Zierikzee who built a castle near the village.{{cite book|url=https://dbnl.org/tekst/sten009monu09_01/sten009monu09_01_0079.php |title=Renesse |author=Piet van Cruyningen & Ronald Stenvert| year=2003 |publisher=Waanders |location=Zwolle |isbn=90 400 8830 6 |access-date=21 April 2022 |language=nl}} [Moermond Castle](/source/Moermond_Castle) was built in 1229, but destroyed in 1297. Before 1339, a new smaller castle was built, but became derelict. The gate house of around 1400 was converted in a summer residence in 1513 which became the basis of the current castle. It was severely damaged during the [North Sea flood of 1953](/source/North_Sea_flood_of_1953). Between 1958 and 1960, it was restored and the walls around the castle were rebuilt with three towers. The Dutch Reformed church is a single-aisled church. The tower dates from the early 15th century and has never been completed. The choir was rebuilt in 1916 and remnants of the predecessor of around 1300 were discovered. In 1924, a school was attached to the church, but it was demolished in 1976. At the end of 1944, ten members of the [Dutch Resistance](/source/Dutch_Resistance) stole and destroyed the [resident registration](/source/resident_registration) of Renesse. They were supposed to be picked up by an English patrol boat, but were arrested on the beach. The ten men were publicly hanged. The villagers and their family members were forced to witness the hanging. Renesse was home to 470 people in 1840. It was a separate municipality until 1961, when it was merged with [Westerschouwen](/source/Westerschouwen).{{Repertorium Nederlandse Gemeenten}} After World War II, Renesse develop into a tourist site with many holiday homes and hotels. In 1997, Renesse became part of the municipality of [Schouwen-Duiveland](/source/Schouwen-Duiveland).{{cite web |url=https://www.plaatsengids.nl/renesse |title=Renesse |website=Plaatsengids |access-date=21 April 2022 |language=nl |archive-date=26 February 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240226021114/https://plaatsengids.nl/renesse |url-status=dead }} ==[Van Renesse](/source/Van_Renesse) Family== In the 13th century the Van Renesse family built the first version of [Moermond Castle](/source/Moermond_Castle). * [John III, Lord of Renesse](/source/John_III%2C_Lord_of_Renesse) * [René de Renesse, 1st Count of Warfusée](/source/Ren%C3%A9_de_Renesse%2C_1st_Count_of_Warfus%C3%A9e) * The [Castle of Renesse](/source/Castle_of_Renesse) is located in the village of [Oostmalle](/source/Oostmalle) ([Malle](/source/Malle)), in the [Campine](/source/Campine) region of the province of [Antwerp](/source/Antwerp_(province)) ([Flanders](/source/Flanders), Belgium) == Gallery == Image:Renesse Jacobus south.jpg|Renesse, church: Jacobuskerk Image:Renesse seaside 2.jpg|Renesse, beach File:Korte Reke 9, Renesse RM38826 (2).jpg|Restaurant in Renesse File:Renesse-04-Ferienhaus im Schnee-1984-gje.jpg|Holiday home in the snow ==References== ==External links== *[http://www.renesseaanzee.nl/ Renesse Official Website] {{commons category}} {{Dutch municipality Schouwen-Duiveland}} {{Authority control}} Category:Renesse family Category:Schouwen-Duiveland Category:History of Schouwen-Duiveland Category:Populated places in Zeeland Category:Former municipalities of Zeeland Category:Seaside resorts in the Netherlands Category:Free public transport --- Adapted from the Wikipedia article [Renesse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renesse) by Wikipedia contributors ([contributor history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renesse?action=history)).
