Beets (in Dutch; Flemish pronounced as /ˈbeːts/) is a village in the northwest Netherlands. It is a part of the municipality of Edam-Volendam, North Holland, and lies about 9 km southwest of Hoorn.
The village was first mentioned in 1435 as "van der Beetze", and means "low lying (often flooded in the winter) land".[3] Beets developed in the late 13th century on the southern part of the Beetskoog polder.[4]
The Dutch Reformed church is a single aisled cruciform church from the 15th century. It was restored in 1873 and 1961.[4]
Beets was home to 412 people in 1840. Until 1970, Beets was a separate municipality. In 2016, it became part of the municipality of Edam-Volendam.[5]
