Ingwierrum (Dutch: Engwierum) is a village in Noardeast-Fryslân in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands. It had a population of approximately 565 in January 2017.[3] Before 2019, the village was part of the Dongeradeel municipality.[4]

History

[edit]

The village was first mentioned in 1447 as Edygwerum, and means "settlement on the terp of the people of Ede (person)."[5] Ingwierrum is a terp (artificial living mound) village from the early middle ages. The Dutch Reformed church has a possibly 13th century tower which was enlarged in the 14th century. The church building dates from 1746.[6]

In 1719, Ingwierrum was hit by a flood, and the decision was made to dam the Dokkumer Grootdiep.[6] In 1729, an obelisk was placed in Ingwierrum as a monument to the closure of the dike.[7] The locks were restored in 1834.[6] In 1840, Ingwierrum was home to 681 people.[4]

The village's official name was changed from Engwierum to Ingwierrum in 2023.[8][9]
