Oosterhuizen is a region under one room in the east of the municipality of De Marne in the north west of the Dutch province of Groningen. The region is located along the Oosterweg which runs from Eenrum to Pieterburen. To the east is the hamlet of De Horn. Along the road are some farms, one of which is called Oosterhuizen.

The Oosterhuizen neighborhood is mentioned for the first time between 1030 and 1050 as Osterhem.

The farm Oosterhuizen is in the place where the castle Oosterhuysen has stood. The castle is first mentioned as the nobility in 1598. In the region of Oosterhuizen, six nobles are known, but none of them can be identified with this hero. In the Lord, glorious rights like right of righteousness, justice and stalks and digging in the church of Eenrum rest. In 1606, the city of Groninger brouwer (on the Aa) became Johan Hindriks (later called Pathuis) and in 1631 to his sons Menso and Hendrik Pathuis. Through this family name, the hero is also known as Pathuisheem or Pathuisborg. As early as 1642, the family sold the 90-hectare land (45 hectares) to Aepko Tjarda of Starkenborgh. At a divorce divorce in 1662, daughter Odilia van Starkenborgh received the honor. Her husband Bernhard de Sighers could possibly have converted the castle into a guarantor. In 1681, the guarantor was again owned by the Pathuis family by a judicial sale; Attorney Jacobus Pathuis, a son of the previously mentioned Menco, bought the deposit then. However, when the redemption fell on Oosterhuizen, he could not exercise it because the Family Pathuis family was catholic. However, in 1718 the family sold well to Willem Alberda van Dijksterhuis. The deposit then consisted of a housing with skathouses, courts, singles and 42 yard land. Willem Alberda's son Gerhard inherited the deposit in 1721, but sold it in 1738 to demolition and built a new farm with an inner house and a Frisian barn. The castle house on the east side of the castle was still mentioned in 1745 but must also be broken down. The new farm was probably built east of the castle, perhaps at the place of the castle house, on the old driveway. Probably in 1841 (façade) this farm was broken down and rebuilt as a head-neck hull farm on the southern part of the original castle. In 1960 the two sheds were connected by an intermediate cap. Recently, three pilots have been added. The road to the east of the farm was shifted in the 20th century. The driveway and singles are slipped and the canal is muted on the east side. 53° 23′ NB, 6° 27′ OL
