History

It was first mentioned at the end of 11th century as apud Tornacum. The etymology is unknown. [2] Doornik is not a statistical entity, [3] and the postal authorities have placed it under Bemmel. [4]

Doornik used be an heerlijkheid together with Ressen. It was first mentioned in 1324 and had a castle. [5] The castle had become derelict in 1649. [6]

The town of Bemmel was threatened by the Waal and was flooded several times during the 16th century. In 1648, it was decided to dig a canal to eliminate the bend in the river. The new canal threatened Doornik, and in 1799, the dike breached destroying the village, farms and the castle. [7] Doornik was never rebuilt except for a few farms. [8]

In 1823, the remains of the castle were lost in a fire [6] In 1827, a manor house was built in its place. During World War II, it was used by the Germans to store ammunition, and in 1944, everything exploded destroying the manor house. [5] In 1840, Doornik was home to 94 people. Nowadays, it consists of a handful of houses. [8]
