Description

Vierhuizen is a village in the municipality of Het Hogeland in the Dutch province of Groningen. The village had 120 inhabitants according to CBS in 2021. Vierhuizen is situated right on the sleepy dike of the former Lauwers Sea and was a fishing village until 1927, just like Zoutkamp, located 2.5 km to the south. The earliest mention of the name Vierhuizen dates back to 1525. The place owes its name to the four stone houses that were there at that time. The construction of the Kerkvoogdijpolder caused it to lose that meaning. This polder closed off the "gap" that existed between the northern Westpolder and the southern Panserpolder. During the storm surge of 1877, the dike of the Westpolder broke, resulting in the drowning of 14 people.
