Kattendijke is a village in the Dutch province of Zeeland. It is located in the municipality of Goes on the Oosterschelde about 5 km northeast of the city of Goes.
History
The village was first mentioned in 1214 as Cattindic. The etymology is unclear.[1] The flood of 1134 resulted in large inundated areas around Kattendijke. The Cistercians monks from abbey Ter Doel started to build dikes and polder the land. Kattendijke developed into a heerlijkheid.[2]
The Dutch Reformed church was built in 1404 on a terp (artificial hill). Only the nave of the medieval church remains due to war and decay. It was renovated in 1954 and restored to its original shape.[2]
Kattendijke was home to 255 people in 1840.[3] In 1927, a railway station was built on the Goes to Wemeldinge railway line. The station closed in 1934.[4]
Until 1970, Kattendijke was a separate municipality when it was merged into Goes.[5] The municipality also covered the village of Wilhelminadorp which contained the town hall.[3]
