De Woude is a village in the Dutch province of North Holland. It is a part of the municipality of Castricum, and lies about 9 km south of Alkmaar. Until 1 January 2002, De Woude belonged to the municipality of Akersloot. The village is located on an island in the Alkmaardermeer and can only be reached by ferry.[3]
The Dutch Reformed church "De Kemphaan" is a little wooden church which was rebuilt by the villagers in 2002.[4] The old church from the 16th century had become derelict and beyond repair, and a village house was desired by the inhabitants of De Woude. The church is in use for meetings, cultural activities and can be rented for weddings and parties.[3]
