History

The village was first mentioned in 1299 as van Scoeten. The name means "corner of higher land". Oude (old) has been added to distinguish between Nieuweschoot. In 1299, a nunnery of the German order was founded in Oudeschoot, and has existed until 1580. [4] Oudeschoot used to be the capital of the grietenij (predecessor of a municipality) Schoterland  [ nl ] until 1934. In 1828, the main road from Leeuwarden to Zwolle was built through the village, and was later joined by a railway line. [5] Since 1600, the Skoattermerk, an annual market is held on the second day of Pentecost, and is the oldest extant market in the northern provinces. [6]

The Dutch Reformed church was built in 1752. [5] In 1840, it was home to 452 people. [6] Julia Jan Woutersstichting is a retirement home which was built in 1901 on the grounds of the 1763 manor house Veenwijk. The home is built in Renaissance Revival style and is surrounded by a large park. [5]

Before 1934, Oudeschoot was part of the Schoterland municipality. [6] In 1965, a large part of the village was annexed by Heerenveen. [6]
