I believe it is a Made in China Raleigh Tourist ripoff. Probably 1990s or later. Below is a similar bike.

That is not a Phoenix from Leeuwarden. It is a Chinese Raleigh copy. You can probably still buy them new.
EDIT: oddjob2 beat me to it.

if there are no marking on frame to indicate country of origin how about checking marking on tyres?
it she has been idle for thirty-five years they are unlikely to have been changed in that period.

True...the top tube says made in china

The Chinese signs and badge puts it somewhere in Asia and the headlight, with what looks like a switch on top, means it's probably fairly modern.
Edit: That weld on the fork is terrifying btw. O_o
