Moerkapelle is a village in the Zuidplas municipality,
formed in 2010, in the province of South Holland. Before that, from 1991
together with the neighbouring village of Zevenhuizen, it formed the
municipality of Zevenhuizen-Moerkapelle.
The name Moerkapelle indicates the presence of a
church or chapel close to a swamp. The hamlet 'Op Moer' was founded around
1400. Around 1560 a chapel is mentioned for the first time. Due to poldering of
the marshland, activity started in the 17th century and people settled in
Moerkapelle. The activity consisted of agriculture and later on mainly
livestock farming.
