Oudheusden is a village in theDutch province ofNorth Brabant. It is in the municipality ofHeusden, about 1 km (0.62 mi) south of the city of Heusden.
The name Oudheusden literally means "Old-Heusden", from theDutch word "oud" (English: old) and is used to distinguish it fromHeusden. Oudheusden was first mentioned between 1108 and 1121 as Hysdene.[2]
Oudheusden was home to 858 people in 1840. Oudheusden was a separate municipality until 1935, when it became part ofHeusden.[3][4] After World War II, Heusden wanted to expand and demolish its fortification, however the Dutch Monument organisation prevented their demise. It has resulted in an extension of the city into the village.[4]
