Avenhorn is a village in the Dutch province of North Holland. It is a part of the municipality of Koggenland, and lies about 9 km west of Hoorn.

History

The village was first mentioned around 1312 as Lutekedrecht. The current name means "corner (of a dike) of Ave (person)".[3] Avenhorn developed in the 13th century as a peat excavation settlement.[4]

The Dutch Reformed church is a single aisled church from 1642. In 1914, a ridge turret was added to the church.[4]

Avenhorn was home to 364 people in 1840.[5] In 1884, a railway station was opened on the Zaandam to Enkhuizen railway line. It closed in 1940.[6] In 1979, the former municipality of Avenhorn merged into the new municipality of Wester-Koggenland. In 2007, it became part of the municipality of Koggenland.[5]
