Oosterleek

Oosterleek is a village in the municipality of Drechterland, in the Dutch province North Holland.

This name was supposedly a reference to the fact that the village was located to the east of a stream.

[3] During the 17th century, it was a fishing village which was home to a population of about 500 people.

[4] Nowadays, a small bit of Oosterleek lays in the Markermeer, because the levee was moved westwards to guarantee full safety.

The church was decommissioned in 1972, and is nowadays used for weddings, expositions and concerts.
