Oldeberkoop ({{IPA|nl|ˌɔldəbərˈkoːp}}; {{langx|fy|Aldeberkeap}} {{IPA|fy|ˌɔːdəbəˈkɪəp|}}) is a village consisting of about 1,580 inhabitants in the municipality of Ooststellingwerf[https://www.ooststellingwerf.nl/inwoners/dorpen_42128/ Villages] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170928010218/https://www.ooststellingwerf.nl/inwoners/dorpen_42128/ |date=2017-09-28 }} - Ooststellingwerf Municipality {{in lang|nl}} in the east of Friesland, the Netherlands.
History
The village was first mentioned between 1232 and 1233 as apud Brokope. Olde (old) was added to distinguish between Nijeberkoop. The etymology of -berkoop is unclear.{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/oldeberkoop#berkelplaatsnamen |title=Oldeberkoop - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=1 April 2022 |language=nl}} The village developed around the church and brink (communal pasture). The Dutch Reformed church dates from the 12th century, and was enlarged in the 14th century. In 1585, the tower collapsed and was replaced in 1608.{{cite web|url=https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/sten009monu06_01/sten009monu06_01_0126.php |title=Oldeberkoopo |author=Ronald Stenvert & Sabine Broekhoven |year=2000 |publisher=Waanders |location=Zwolle |isbn=90 400 9476 4 |language=nl |access-date=1 April 2022}}
Oldeberkoop was attacked by Spanish troops in 1585. To better protect the village, a sconce was constructed in 1593 along the Linde River. In 1672, the sconce was attacked by a combined force of France and the Prince-Bishopric of Münster, but was not conquered.
Oldeberkoop was the capital of the municipality of Ooststellingwer until 1848. It was home to 646 people in 1840.{{cite web|url=https://www.plaatsengids.nl/oldeberkoop |title=Oldeberkoop |website=Plaatsengids |access-date=1 April 2022 |language=nl}}
