Rhenoy is a village in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is a part of the municipality of West Betuwe, and is situated about 13 km east of Gorinchem, between Geldermalsen and Leerdam.

History

[edit]

It was first mentioned in 1265 as tot Rynoey, and means "land neat a stream". It is not related to the Rhine, also because it is located on the Linge.[3] The Dutch Reformed church dates from 1836, but has 14th and 15th century elements. In 1840, it was home to 319 people.[4]
