Goedereede (nl) is a little city and former municipality in the western Netherlands, in the province of South Holland. The former municipality had a population of about 11,000 in 2010. It consisted of the west part of the island of Goeree-Overflakkee. Goedereede merged with Dirksland, Middelharnis, and Oostflakkee into the new municipality of Goeree-Overflakkee on January 1, 2013. The town have a population of about 2,000 in 2012.
Goedereede received city rights in 1312 from Sir Gereart van Voorne.[citation needed]
The future Pope Adrian VI (1459–1523) was at one time pastor of the parish church of Goedereede.[1] During a great fire in Goedereede in 1482 the old "Katharina Church" and its tower were destroyed.
A new church was erected in 1512 beside the Toren van Goedereede (Goederede Tower), which still stands today.[2]
Goederede went into a long decline, losing trade to better-sited ports. There were insufficient funds to maintain the church. In 1706 the dilapidated building was pulled down, but the tower was preserved.[1]
The former municipality of Goedereede also included the communities of, from west to east, Ouddorp, Goedereede (with Havenhoofd), Oostdijk, and Stellendam.
