Oostwold, Westerkwartier
Oostwold (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈoːstʋɔlt]) is a village in the municipality of Westerkwartier in the province of Groningen in the Netherlands.

History

The village was first mentioned in 1458 as Oestwolde, and means "eastern woods".

In 1908, the Reformed church was built as a replacement for its medieval predecessor. It was decommissioned in 2004 and in 2005 bought by the restaurant next door for parties, meetings, and congresses.
