== History == The village was first mentioned in 1551 as "Outdorp in Westvoirne", and means "old village". Old refers to land which has not been reclaimed by poldering. Ouddorp is a circular village around a church which developed in the Middle Ages. It used to be the centre of the former island of Goeree, but was overshadowed by Goedereede. South of Ouddorp is a terp (artificial hill) on which Spreeuwenberg Castle was built in the 13th century, but only the hill remained.
