Description

Oud-Leusden is a hamlet in the Dutch province of Utrecht. It is a part of the municipality of Leusden, and lies about 4 km south of Amersfoort.HistoryOud-Leusden was formerly just called "Leusden". The name is known from the year 776, when villa Lisaduna was a large farm complex with defenses. Although it was assumed to be located near the current location of Oud-Leusden, no evidence of this complex has been found.The church tower of Oud-Leusden is one of the oldest, perhaps the oldest, in the Netherlands. Originally it was part of a church, which before the reformation was dedicated to Saint Anthony. In the nineteenth century, most of the churchgoing population lived in the nearby village of Leusbroek, and the church was replaced with a new one in Leusbroek, and demolished in 1828.
