Usselo

Encyclopedia : U : US : USS : Usselo

Usselo is a Dutch village just south of Enschede in the eastern Netherlands. It has existed for over 800 years. The village has a Dutch Reformed church, a Church of the Christelijke Gemeente Nederland, a primary school and some shops. Of interest are the windmill (of the rare Stenderkast model) and the Usseler es, the heart of the village farmlands.

Usselo, together with neighbouring Boekelo and Enschede, hosts the annual Military Boekelo Enschede, an international equestrian event usually held in October. The village is also notable for being the location of the novel, The Upstairs Room by Johanna Reiss. She was a Jewish girl taken into a family in Usselo while hiding from the German occupation during World War II.
