Oosthuizen is a village in the Dutch province of North Holland. It is a part of the municipality of Edam-Volendam, and lies about 8 km north of Purmerend.
History
[edit | edit source]The village was first mentioned in the 12th century as "in Asthusa minore", and means "eastern houses". Minor or luttic was often added to distinguish from Grosthuizen.[3] Oosthuizen started as a peat excavation settlement in the Zeevang polder. In 1292, it became a free heerlijkheid (=no fief).[4]
The Dutch Reformed church is cruciform church with ridge turret. The choir and transept were constructed in 1511. The nave is from 1518. The Catholic Franciscus van Assisi Church is a residential home which was converted to church in 1960.[4]
Oosthuizen was home to 634 people in 1840.[5] It was a separate municipality until 1970, when the new municipality of Zeevang was created.[6] It was the capital of Zeevang. In 2016, it became part of the municipality of Edam-Volendam.[5]
