Nisse is a village in the Dutch province of Zeeland. It is a part of the municipality of Borsele, and lies about 17 km east of Middelburg. Nisse was a separate municipality until 1970, when it was merged with Borsele.〔Ad van der Meer and Onno Boonstra, "Repertorium van Nederlandse gemeenten", KNAW, 2006. ()〕 In 2001, the village of Nisse had 197 inhabitants. The built-up area of the town was 0.059 km², and contained 78 residences.〔Statistics Netherlands (CBS), (''Bevolkingskernen in Nederland 2001'' ). (Statistics are for the continuous built-up area).〕 The statistical area "Nisse", which includes the peripheral parts of the village as well as the surrounding countryside, has a population of around 630.〔Statistics Netherlands (CBS), (''Statline: Kerncijfers wijken en buurten 2003-2005'' ). As of 1 January 2005.〕 Nisse is one of seventeen protected city- and village views in Zeeland. There is a 15th-century church with 14th century tower, containing frescoes and wood carvings. The village square, restored in 1975, has a bandstand, an 18th-century water pump and a ''vaete'' - a waterhole formerly used by cattle, now commonly in use as a duck pond. Nisse's surrounding countryside consists of meadows with hawthorn hedges and ''welen'' - a type of open water - and is loved by both hikers and cyclists. Fruit cultivation is the most practiced form of agriculture. Yearly events include a jumble sale with proceeds going to the local church,〔(Mariakerk Nisse staat in de steigers ), Frank van Cooten, Provinciale Zeeuwse Courant, 1 november 2012 〕 the music festival ''Pastorale au Parvis'',〔(Bezoekers festival Pastorale laten zich niet weerhouden door de regen ), Provinciale Zeeuwse Courant, 12 juli 2010 〕 the running competition ''Meidoornloop'', and village fête ''Schaapscheerdersfeest'', until the latter's cancellation in 2011〔(Schaapscheerdersfeest in Nisse afgelast ), Omroep Zeeland, 6 mei 2011 〕 and subsequent years. ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nisse, Netherlands」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
