Hoonhorst is a village in the municipality of Dalfsen in the province of Overijssel, Netherlands.

[3] The village was first mentioned in 1283 as "de Honhorst", and means "height with growth".

[6] In 1770, the drost (chief magistrate) of Salland was petitioned to allow the construction of a Catholic church.

Permission was granted to build a church in Hoonhorst as long as it looked like a farm on the outside.

[7] The grist mill De Fakkert was built in 1862, but burnt down on 13 July 1868.
