Hulhuizen is a hamlet near Gendt in the municipality of Lingewaard in the province of Gelderland, the Netherlands. Hulhuizen became Dutch in 1817 together with Huissen. [2]
It was first mentioned in 1253 as Hulhusen, and means houses on a hill. [3] Hulhuizen is not a statistical entity, [4] and the postal authority have placed it under Gendt. [5]
Hulhuizen used to be an enclave of the Duchy of Cleves which later became part of the Kingdom of Prussia. [2] In 1608, it was a complete village, however the Waal River kept on taking parts of the village. In 1707, it was completely destroyed, and after rebuilding only a little hamlet returned in its place. [6]
Most parts of the Prussian enclaves inside the Netherlands were transferred on 1 June 1816 except for Hulhuizen, because Prussia demanded a return gift. The village was exchanged for Schenkenschanz (Dutch name: Schenkenschans), and became Dutch on 1 March 1817. In 1840, Hulhuizen was home to 422 people. Nowadays, it consists of about 150 houses. [2]
There used to be a castle near Hulhuizen, however it was flooded and destroyed in the 17th century. [6] The castle was built in 1253. The exact location is still unknown. [7]
