Goidschalxoord (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɣoːtsxɑl(ə)ksoːrt]) is a hamlet in the Dutch province of South Holland. It is located about 5 km east of Oud-Beijerland, in the municipality of Hoeksche Waard.[1]
History
A ferry from Goidschalxoord to Rhoon existed before 1537. In 1888, a bridge was built, and in 1941, the ferry was taken out of service. The bridge was demolished after the Heinenoordtunnel [nl] on the A29 opened.[2] The current name was first attested in 1841, and refers to Goidschalck Oelm who was the ambachtsheer (predecessor of mayor).[3]
The nameless grist mill of Goidschalxoord was built in 1718. In 1931, a diesel motor was installed. The windmill was in service until c. 1953. In 2007, the ownership was transferred to a foundation who won the BankGiro Loterij [nl] Restauratie, and received €1 million. In 2011, the windmill returned to active service.[4]
Goidschalxoord was a separate municipality between 1817 and 1855, when it merged with Heinenoord.[5]
Goidschalxoord is not a statistical entity,[6] and considered part of Heinenoord. It has place name signs, and consists of about 100 houses.[2]
