**Kattendijke** is a village in the [Dutch](/source/Netherlands) province of [Zeeland](/source/Zeeland). It is located in the municipality of [Goes](/source/Goes) on the [Oosterschelde](/source/Oosterschelde) about 5 km northeast of the city of Goes.

## History

The village was first mentioned in 1214 as Cattindic. The etymology is unclear.[3] The flood of 1134 resulted in large inundated areas around Kattendijke. The [Cistercians](/source/Cistercians) monks from abbey Ter Doel started to build dikes and *[polder](/source/Polder)* the land. Kattendijke developed into a *[heerlijkheid](/source/Heerlijkheid)*.[4]

The Dutch Reformed church was built in 1404 on a *[terp](/source/Terp)* (artificial hill). Only the nave of the medieval church remains due to war and decay. It was renovated in 1954 and restored to its original shape.[4]

Kattendijke was home to 255 people in 1840.[5] In 1927, a railway station was built on the [Goes](/source/Goes) to [Wemeldinge](/source/Wemeldinge) railway line. The station closed in 1934.[6]

Until 1970, Kattendijke was a separate municipality when it was merged into Goes.[7] The municipality also covered the village of [Wilhelminadorp](/source/Wilhelminadorp) which contained the town hall.[5]
