Driehuizen is a village in the Dutch province of North Holland. It is a part of the municipality of Alkmaar, and lies about 8 km south of the city of Alkmaar. The name literally means Three houses, and was first mentioned in 1639.[3]
Driehuizen developed on the former island of Schermereiland. According to legend, there were three houses in 1603.[4] After the Schermer was poldered in 1635, it received a road connection to Zuidschermer.[4] Driehuizen was home to 156 people in 1840.[5]
The former Dutch Reformed church is an aisleless church with wooden tower which was built in 1912 as a replacement of the 1648 church. It is nowadays used as village house.[4]
