Ankeveen is a village in the Dutch province of North Holland. It is a part of the municipality of Wijdemeren, and lies about 5 km west of Bussum. The village was first mentioned in 1344 as Tankenveen, and means "peat excavation of Tanke (person)".[3] Ankeveen is a stretched out peat concession village.[4] The buitenplaats Berg en Vaart was built near Ankeveen between 1779 and 1782 by an Amsterdam wine merchant. It is surrounded by a large park designed in the 18th century.[4] West of the village, there is a fen area, the Ankeveense Plassen [nl] which is a result of the peat excavation in the area.[5] Until 1966, Ankeveen was a separate municipality. In 2002, it became part of the municipality of Wijdemeren.[5]
