Achthuizen is a village in the Dutch province of South Holland. It is a part of the municipality of Goeree-Overflakkee, and lies about 17 km south of Spijkenisse.
The village was first mentioned around 1750 as "De Agthuisen", and means "eight houses".[1] Achthuizen has two diagonally placed centres and looks like a number 8 from the air. Most of the settlement dates from after 1930. Achthuizen was a Roman Catholic enclave on the Protestant island of Goeree. The Catholic Assumption of Mary Church is a neoclassic church from 1846.[2]
The village has a working windmill, Windlust, which is operated on a volunteer basis.[3]
