Oudendijk is a village in the Dutch province of North Holland. It is a part of the municipality of Koggenland, and lies about 9 km (5.6 mi) southwest of Hoorn.

## History

[edit]

The village was first mentioned in 1423 or 1424 as "binnen den Ban van Oudendyc", and means "old dike".[3] Oudendijk developed along the dike in the 12th century. During the 13th century, the peat around to the north was excavated.[4]

The Dutch Reformed church is a single aisled church with ridge turret which was built in 1649 to replace a 15th century church.[4]

Oudendijk was home to 346 people in 1840.[5] It was a separate municipality between 1817 and 1979, when the new municipality of Wester-Koggenland was created.[6] In 2007, it became part of the municipality of Koggenland.[5]
