History

Roderwolde is a road village which was established during the early middle ages for the excavation of peat. [3] It was first mentioned in 1139 as Roterwolde and means "forest near Roden". [4] Due to settling of the soil, most of the village was relocated to higher grounds in the south. Sandebuur is a remnant of the earliest settlement. [3] The first church was built in the 12th century. [4] The current church dates from 1831. [3] In 1840, Roderwolde was home 142 people. [5]

In 1852, Woldzigt , a corn and oil windmill, was built in Roderwolde. It was restored to working order in 1973–74. [6] [3]

Roderwolde used to have a little harbour which was removed in the 1960s. In 2016, Schippershoaven, a new harbour, opened for recreational boating. [7]
