Oldekerk (pronounced as /nl/; gos|Ollekèrk) is a village in the Dutch province of Groningen. It is located in the municipality of Westerkwartier, about 15 km west of the city of Groningen.
Oldekerk was a separate municipality until 1990, when it was merged with Grootegast.
The village was first mentioned in 1320 as Aeldakerka, and means "old church". Olde- ('old') has been added to distinguish between Niekerk.[3]
The Reformed church was demolished in the 17th century. Only a bell tower remained standing. The bell tower was rebuilt in 1939. In 1856, a Reformed Church was built and replaced in 1966.[4]
Oldekerk was home to 442 people in 1840. It used to be an independent municipality until 1990, when it was merged into Grootegast. In 2019, it became part of Westerkwartier.[5]
