The name Noordwijk is said to have been derived from a neighborhood north of Marum. Noordwijk is located at a junction whose street names indicate the direction: Noorderweg, Westerweg and Oosterweg.

The church of Noordwijk dates from the early fourteenth century. The church is now owned by the Stichting Oude Groninger Kerken ('Old Groninger Churches Foundation') and has recently been restored. The Leedaanzeggerspad runs from the mortuary behind the church, a walk during which the history of the village in the nineteenth century is discussed.
