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".[3]

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.[4]

Oostwold was home to 254 people in 1840.[4]
