History

The village was first mentioned in 1179 as Oesterze, and means eastern lake and is a reference to Tjeukemeer  [ nl ]. [4] Oosterzee was a road village which started in the Middle Ages as two settlements: Oosterzee-Buren and Oosterzee-Gietersebrug. From the 18th century onwards, peat excavation and poldering transformed the area into cultivated land. [5]

The Dutch Reformed Church was built in 1860 in the neoclassical style as a replacement of a medieval church which is located outside the village center. [5] In 1840, it was home to 880 people. In 1892, a dairy factory opened in Oosterzee, and closed in 1993. The factory was demolished in 2006 and replaced by a marina and a villa ward, however the chimney remains, because telecommunication companies used the chimney. [6]

Before 2014, Oosterzee was part of the Lemsterland municipality. [6] This municipality has since merged into De Fryske Marren municipality.
