Oosterzee (West Frisian : Eastersee) is a village in De Fryske Marren municipality in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands. It had a population of around 915 including surrounding area in 2017.^[3]

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 neoclassical as a replacement of a medieval church which is located outside the village.^[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]
