Oudendijk, Rural hamlet in Altena, Netherlands
Oudendijk extends along a linear street pattern near the Merwede river, with traditional Dutch farmhouses and residential properties dotting the landscape.
The settlement formed around a protective dike built after the devastating Sint-Elisabethsvloed flood of 1421, with remnants of castle Wielensteyn documented in 1465.
The community holds a neighborhood festival every five years through the Oranjevereniging Wilhelmina, where different sections compete with elaborate themed decorations.
The hamlet maintains one bus stop on line 121 connecting to Gorinchem and s-Hertogenbosch, while nearby ferries provide river crossings to surrounding towns.
Behind a local farm, large brick remnants and an elevated land formation indicate the presence of earlier structures from medieval times.
