Kootwijk (West Low German: Kodek) (population estimate: 280) is a small village in the municipality Barneveld, located in the middle of the Netherlands, in the province of Gelderland.

[4] The Dutch Reformed Church dates from the 16th century, but has been extensively modified in 1930.

[5] South of Kootwijk is the Kootwijkerzand, a sand dune area of 7 km2, the largest in Europe.

Between 1918 and 1921, the radio transmitter Radio Kootwijk was constructed to the east of Kootwijk to improve communication with the Dutch East Indies (nowadays Indonesia).

A living van was turned over three times, however the occupants survived with minor injuries.
