Lucaswolde

Lucaswolde (Dutch pronunciation: [ˌlykɑsˈʋɔldə]) is a linear village in the municipality of Westerkwartier in the province of Groningen in the Netherlands.

[1] Just south of the region, on the Dwarsdiep [nl], is a nature reserve in the Oude Riet polder.

This part of the Westerkwartier consisted of wildland, owned by the farmers of Marum, Niebert and Nuis.

The parish was merged with Noordwijk, but the lands of the church and presbytery continued to have their own managers.

The Susteren van Reyde ('Sisters of Reide') were looking for a new place to live because of the floods in the Dollart area and had a monastic grange or uythof built in Lucaswolde, which still existed in 1539.
