Broek op Langedijk (West Frisian Dutch: Broek op Lengedìk) is a village in the municipality of Dijk en Waard in the province of North Holland, the Netherlands.

History[edit]

The village was first mentioned in the 12th century as 1420 Broec, and means "swampy land on the long dike".[3] Broek op Langedijk developed along the dike as a linear settlement. The swamp was cultivated and the so-called empire of a thousand islands was formed. The islands were used to grow cabbage and in 1887, an auction house was established in Broek op Langedijk.[4]

The Dutch Reformed church is a single aisled church with wooden tower from the 15th century. Around 1860, the front and tower were renovated.[4]

The auction house is a large wooden complex surrounded by water. It was built in 1912 and was influenced by Jugendstil.[4] In 1968, the auction merged with the Noord-Scharwoude auction and moved. In 1974, a museum was established in the former auction which allows visitors to bid on fruit and vegetables in household portions.[5]

Broek op Langendijk was home to 700 people in 1840.[5] It was a separate municipality until 1941, when the municipality of Langedijk was formed.[6] In 2022, it became part of the municipality of Dijk en Waard.[5]
