Wehe-Den Hoorn ( Gronings: t Hörn-Wij) is a village in the Dutch province of Groningen. It is part of the municipality of Het Hogeland. It is a 1966 merger of the villages of Wehe and Den Hoorn. [3]
Wehe was a terp (artificial mount) village on the road from Ulrum to Winsum. [3] It was first mentioned in the 10th or 11th century as UUie and means temple (similar to Wye in Kent). [4] Den Hoorn was a nearby hamlet. A part of the population remained Roman Catholic. [3] Each year, several processions start in Wehe-den Hoorn to the Sorrowful Mother of Warfhuizen. [5] The Dutch Reformed Church dates from 1553. The Catholic Saint Boniface Church dates from 1927. It was designed by Joseph Cuypers and his son Pierre Cuypers, and has a Mary statue from the 16th century. [3]
In 1679, the estate Borgweer was built near Wehe. Later it became the property of the Tjarda van Starkenborgh family who renamed it Starkenborgh. It was torn down in 1832, and only a path remained which used to be a long driveway to the estate. [6]
In 1795, Wehe was home to 327 people. [7] It became part of the municipality of Leens, however the town hall was in Wehe. [5] The villages of Wehe and Den Hoorn had merged into a single entity. In 1966, the villages were officially merged and named Wehe-den Hoorn. [3] In 2019, it became part municipality of Het Hogeland. [5]
