Satellite image of the Rhine-Meuse delta, showing the island of IJsselmonde (9)

IJsselmonde is an island between the Nieuwe Maas, Noord and Oude Maas rivers in the province of Zuid Holland in the Netherlands. The city of Rotterdam now occupies most of the northern part of the island and now includes the eponymous former village of IJsselmonde, once a separate community. The island was once a rich agricultural region, but is mostly suburbia today.


IJsselmonde consists of the following municipalities:

IJsselmonde is separated

  • from the mainland on the north by the Nieuwe Maas
  • from the islands of Voorne and Putten on the west by the Oude Maas
  • from Hoeksche Waard on the south by the Oude Maas
  • from the island of Dordrecht on the southeast by the Oude Maas
  • from the Alblasserwaard mainland on the east by river Noord

For the connections, see these waterways.
