Sint Annaparochie (Dutch: [sɪnt ˈɑnaːpaːˌrɔxi]; West Frisian and Bildts: Sint-Anne) is a village in the municipality of Waadhoeke in Friesland, Netherlands.
It was originally called Altoenae after the estate Altena [nl] near Delft which was the neighbourhood where Dirk Oem van Wijngaarden, one of the first settlers, grew up.
[3] In 1504, a deal was struck between George, Duke of Saxony and four noblemen from Holland to polder the Middelzee.
[6] Though it is located in the province of Friesland, the principal language spoken in the town is Bildts or Dutch, not West Frisian.
[6] Beach house Den Bildtpollen was built to the north of Sint Annaparochie in 1899 as residential home and conference centre in Renaissance Revival style.
