Wadway ( West Frisian: Wadwei) is a village in the Dutch province of North Holland. It is a part of the municipality of Opmeer and Medemblik. [3] It is located about 7 km northwest of Hoorn.
The village was first mentioned in 1256 as Waddeweye, and means "road" and "fordable place". [4] Wadway declared its independence in 1796, and is nicknamed Republiek. Wadway was home to 100 people in 1840. [3]
The former Dutch Reformed church is a single aisled church. The tower was built around 1450. It started to deteriorate in the 20th century, and was used a stable for sheep by a farmer. In 1966, the church was bought by Stichting Wadway. It was restored and opened in 1969 as a theatre church. [3]
