Spaarnwoude is a village in the Dutch province of North Holland. It is a part of the municipality of Haarlemmermeer and lies about {{convert|5|km|mi|abbr=on}} northeast of Haarlem.
Overview
The village was first mentioned in the first half of the 11th century as Spirnerewalt, and means "forest along the Spaarne river".{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/spaarnwoude |title=Spaarnwoude - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=30 April 2022 |language=nl}}
The former Dutch Reformed church dates from 1764, but has a tower from the 13th century. It was decommissioned in 1880, but is still used for cultural activities.
North of Spaarnwoude lies the Spaarnwoude recreation area, which is located in the municipalities of Velsen and Haarlemmermeer.
There is a railway station, Haarlem Spaarnwoude, which lies southwest of the village.{{cite web|url=http://stationsweb.nl/station.asp?station=haarlemspaarnwoude&vraag=spaarnwoude |title=halte Haarlem Spaarnwoude |website=Stationsweb |access-date=30 April 2022 |language=nl}} An IKEA shop is nearby, on the north side.
