Duivendijke Explained

Duivendijke is a former village in the Dutch province of Zeeland. It was located about 2 km southwest of Brouwershaven on the island of Schouwen-Duiveland.

The village had a church, which was demolished before the middle of the 18th century. The first bishop of Leeuwarden, Cunerus Petri, was born in Duivendijke around 1530.

Until 1961, Duivendijke was the name of a separate municipality, that also covered the hamlets Klaaskinderenkerke, Brijdorpe and Looperskapelle.[1]
