Odiliapeel was founded in 1921 as a heath excavation settlement. On 5 May 1930, it was officially named Odiliapeel, and is a combination of Odile of Alsace and the region Peel. [3] The initial excavation of the area started in 1908, [4] however a government subsidy plan led to the systematic exploration of the area. The village was designed by Heidemij (nowadays: Arcadis). [5]

The Catholic Kruisvindingskerk was built between 1958 and 1959 as an aisleless church and a massive tower attached to the side of the church. [4]
