History

The village was first mentioned in the 12th century as "in Asthusa minore", and means "eastern houses". Minor or luttic was often added to distinguish from Grosthuizen. Oosthuizen started as a peat excavation settlement in the Zeevang polder. In 1292, it became a free heerlijkheid (=no fief). The Dutch Reformed church is cruciform church with ridge turret. The choir and transept were constructed in 1511. The nave is from 1518. The Catholic Franciscus van Assisi Church is a residential home which was converted to church in 1960. It was the capital of Zeevang. In 2016, it became part of the municipality of Edam-Volendam.
