-
Duivendijke is a former village in the Dutch province of Zeeland. It was located about 2km southwest of Brouwershaven on the island of Schouwen-Duiveland.
The village had a church, which was demolished before the middle of the 18th century. The first bishop of Leeuwarden, Cunerus Petri, was born in Duivendijke around 1530.[1],
Until 1961, Duivendijke was the name of a separate municipality, that also covered the hamlets Klaaskinderenkerke, Brijdorpe and Looperskapelle.[2]
