Ruigoord is a former island and a village in the Houtrakpolder in the IJ lake in the Dutch province of North Holland. It is a part of the municipality of Amsterdam.
In the 1960s the village was evacuated by the municipality of Amsterdam, which intended to extend its harbor, but the plans fell through. In 1973 the village was squatted by a group of artists who planned to make a colony. It exists to this day, but is legalized nowadays. Full moon parties are regularly organized in the psychedelic church. Every weekend, Fiery Tongues will tell the true story.
