You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.160.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 12:53, 1 June 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Zeist''' (((IPA-nl|ˈzɛist|-|nl-Zeist.ogg))) is the [[Capital city|capital]] and largest [[town]] of the [[Zeist (municipality)|municipality of Zeist]]. The town is located in the [[Utrecht (province)|Utrecht province]] of the [[Netherlands]], east of the city of [[Utrecht]].<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.mindat.org/loc-339406.html|title=Zeist Municipality, Utrecht, Netherlands))</ref><ref>((cite web|url=https://www.britannica.com/place/Zeist|title=Zeist &#124; Netherlands &#124; Britannica ))</ref>((Tertiary source inline|date=August 2022))

== History ==
The town of "Seist" was first mentioned in a charter in the year 838. The original settlement was located at the present ''Dorpsstraat''. In the late 12th century, a church was built here. Its tower is now a part of the Reformed Church, the remainder of which was built in the 19th century. Until medieval times, a branch of the river [[Rhine]] flowed close to the centre of the town. Three mansions were built near the village: the ''Huis te Zeist'', Kersbergen, and Blikkenburg.

[[Image:SlotZeist.jpg|Slot Zeist|right|thumb]]
From 1677 to 1686, the "Slot Zeist" was built on or near the ruins of "Kasteel Zeist", the original castle (donjon) of Rodgar van Zeist. There is very little documentation on the family that lived there, but a few names are found: in the 12th century a ''Godefridus de Seist'' and in the late 13th century another Godefridus, a knight, with his son Johannes and his daughter Petronilla. (''Bronnen voor de geschiedenis van Zeist'', deel 1, ed. Van Hinsbergen) The last member of the van Zeist family was a woman, Elisabeth (?), who married a member of the Borre van Amerongen family. They had a son who adopted his mother's name and his father's coat-of-arms.

In the last quarter of the 17th century, Count Willem Adriaan van Nassau, an illegitimate descendant of Prince [[Maurice of Orange]], acquired the property and built Slot Zeist in the Dutch Classicist style. Murals by [[Daniel Marot]] are still largely intact. Members of the ''Evangelische Broedergemeente'' (Evangelical Brethren's Congregation), the Dutch name for the [[Moravian Church|Moravians]], settled in Zeist in 1746, building for their community an impressive array of 18th century Classicist houses planned around two squares. Their headquarters are still located in the centre of town, next to "the palace". The oldest Dutch archives of the Moravians are kept at the Utrecht Archival Centre at [[Utrecht (city)|Utrecht]].

In the 19th century, Zeist became a favorite residence for the rich, mainly from the city of Utrecht.

Camp New Amsterdam, ([[Soesterberg Air Base|vliegbasis Soesterberg]]) a former [[Royal Netherlands Air Force]] military airbase near this town, was the venue for the [[Pan Am Flight 103 bombing trial]] to take place outside the UK, but under [[Scots law]]. The court was designated the [[Scottish Court in the Netherlands]].<ref>((Cite web|url=https://wetten.overheid.nl/BWBR0010002|language=nl|title=Wet instelling van een in Nederland zetelend Schots Hof))</ref>

== Organisations and surroundings ==

Zeist is the location of the [[Royal Dutch Football Association]] (KNVB), the [[Royal Dutch Korfball Association]] (KNKV) and the [[International Korfball Federation]](IKF). It is also known for the [[forest]]s surrounding the town. For many years the Dutch National Archaeological Research Service (''Rijksdienst voor het Oudheidkundig Bodemonderzoek'') was housed at Slot Zeist. Triodos Bank headquarters is also based there.
