History


The village was first mentioned in 908 as Herispich, and means promontory of either the lord or army.[4] Spijk developed into a long dike village along the Rhine. The tower of the Dutch Reformed Church dates from around 1250 and was enlarged 1500. The church building dates from around 1500. It was restored between 1965 and 1969.[5] In 1840, Spijk was home to 126 people. In 1914, a Roman Catholic church was built in the village.[3]
