Oud-Wulven (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.) is a hamlet in the Dutch province of Utrecht. It is located just north of the village of Houten, and is part of that municipality.
Oud-Wulven was originally a heerlijkheid (fiefdom). In 1545 it was combined with the neighbouring heerlijkheid Waaijen. "Oud-Wulven en Waaijen" remained a separate entity until 1811, when it merged into Houten. This didn't last long: in 1818 they were combined with the heerlijkheden Wulven, Heemstede, Grote Koppel, Kleine Koppel, Maarschalkerweerd, and Slagmaat to a single municipality called "Oud-Wulven.[1]
The municipality Oud-Wulven had an area of about 10.7 km2, and more than 250 inhabitants in the middle of the 19th century.[1] The municipality was merged back with Houten on September 8, 1857.[2]
Nowadays, the hamlet of Oud-Wulven has approximately 170 inhabitants.[3]
