Achttienhoven is a former hamlet in the municipality of De Bilt, in the Netherlands. It is now considered to be part of the village of Westbroek.

Achttienhoven used to be a heerlijkheid (manor), until it became part of Westbroek in 1812. From 1818 to 1954, Achttienhoven was a separate municipality again. It then merged with Westbroek, which in its turn was annexed by Maartensdijk in 1957. [2]

According to the 19th-century historian A.J. van der Aa, [3] the village used to be called "Everckesdorp".

It was first mentioned between 1280 and 1287 as achtienhoeven, and means eighteen parcels of land. [4] Achttienhoven is not a statistical entity, [5] and the postal authorities have placed it under Westbroek. [1] It has place name signs. In 1840, it was home to 236 people. Nowadays, it consists of about 120 houses. [6]
