Friendly March spring afternoon South of Hedikhuizen and it’s farmland in The Netherlands.
On 100 meters rooks fight for the best spot in the poplar trees to build there nest. In frond four cows eat, defecate and rest in the meadows.
I’m standing on a bicycle path on top of a flood sluice. In frond of me some houses, left and right the fields and water as everywhere in wetlands of The Netherlands. A friendly 2-3 brt wind is coming from the East. 200 meters away from me a local road which you can not find if you are not known here. Somewhere a rooster and lowing cows. The clatter of a stork. Jackdaws and geese present as well. Do I hear a frog?
Sometimes a man is cutting wood with a two stroke chainsaw for a moment. Do not be surprised by the cyclists who occasionally come by. Some planes around.
History of Hedikhuizen
Hedikhuizen, popularly ‘Hékèse’ called, is one of the smallest centers in southern province North Brabant, municipality of Heusden. It had about 200 inhabitants in 1972 and 230 inhabitants in 2010. The buildings are grouped along the ‘Hoge Maasdijk’, who once had to protect the surrounding land from the water of the river ‘Hedikhuizense Maas’.
Hedikhuizen belonged to the Land of Heusden in 1357 which was part of the County of Holland. Until about 1800 it became part of Noord-Brabant.

In 1598 the church dedicated to Saint Lambert. The Catholic religion was initially banned, although the village ‘Bokhoven’ served as frontier church, but in 1683 there was a ‘barn church’ and the faithful were served by the pastor of the village ‘Vlijmen’. In 1692 the parish Hedikhuizen regained its own pastor. A new church was built in 1846, and in the same year the parish Haarsteeg seceded.
In 1944 were inflated during the liberation days of the second world war, the towers of the church and it was again nominated for a time in an emergency church. A new Lambertus church was completed in 1962. In 2003 the parish was merged with that of Herpt Heusden and the pastoral unit: The Bernese Maas Parishes.
Hedikhuizen was until 1935 an independent municipality. In that year the town was divided reclassification of the former municipalities and Heusden Vlijmen. In 1997 it all came back together in the newly formed amalgamated municipality of Heusden. (translated?? wikipedia text)
