Deurze is a village in the Dutch province of Drenthe.
It is a part of the municipality of Aa en Hunze, and lies about 4 km southeast of Assen.
[3] In 1258, Otto I of Bentheim [nl] awarded former possessions of the monastery Maria in Campis [nl], who moved to Assen, to Hako Stevenzoon van Hardenberg.
There was a wind mill, however it was destroyed by Christoph Bernhard von Galen, the Prince-Bishop of Münster in 1672 who had built a sconce near the village for his failed invasion of the Netherlands.
