Boskamp is a village in the Dutch province of Overijssel. It is east of Olst in the municipality of Olst-Wijhe.

History

It was first mentioned in 1665 as Boscamp, and means "(noble) camp in the forest".[3] A settlement has been known to exist since 1455. Around 1500, the havezate Boskamp was built which was demolished in 1859, and replaced by the Willibrordus church.[4] Groot Hoenlo is a havezate located to the south of Boskamp. It was built in 1368 by Wolter Machoris.[4] The current building is from the 18th century, and received its current layout in 1897.[5] The postal authorities have placed Boskamp under Olst.[6] In 1929, the monastery Saint Willibrord was built. It is currently used a retirement home.[7]
