Oosterwolde (Template:Langx) is the largest town in the municipality of Ooststellingwerf in the east of Friesland, the Netherlands.[1]
The town was first mentioned between 1325 and 1336 as "tot Oesterwolde", and means eastern forest.[2] Oosterwolde developed between two brinks (communal pastures). The Dutch Reformed church was built in 1735 as a replacement of a medieval church.[3] It is currently (2023) used as a Bed & Breakfast, advertised as a "true pop-up experience between the pews!"[4]
Oosterwolde was home to 548 people in 1840.[5] In 1886, Oosterwolde became the capital of the municipality of Ooststellingwerf. In 1887, Frico (nowadays: FrieslandCampina) opened a dairy factory in the village. The cooperative purchasing agency "Oosterwolde" opened factory in 1915 which is a combination of rational and Jugendstil architecture.[3]
