Willeskop is a hamlet in the Dutch province of Utrecht. It is located in the municipality of Montfoort, 2 km east of that city.
Willeskop was a separate municipality between 1818 and 1989, when it was merged with Montfoort. A small part went to Oudewater.
It was first mentioned in 1282 as Wilhelmescoop, and means "(peat) concession of Wilhelm".[2] The postal authorities have placed it under Linschoten.[3] It does not have place name signs. In 1840, it was home to 313 people.[4]
