History

The village was first mentioned in 1094 as Aldenkercha. The current name means "old parish". [3] Oudkarspel developed in the 11th century a linear settlement along the dike. In 1607, the village became a heerlijkheid and the manor house Oud-Karspel was built around 1640. The estate was damaged by war in 1799 and demolished in 1808. [4]

The Dutch Reformed church is a three aisled basilica-like church. The tower without a spire used to date from the 13th century. In 1969, the church was completely destroyed in a fire, and was rebuilt in a basic style. [4]

Oudkarspel was home to 704 people in 1840. [5] It was a separate municipality until 1941, when the new municipality of Langedijk was created. [6] In 2022, it became part of the new municipality of Dijk en Waard. [5]
