Blessum is a small village in Waadhoeke municipality in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands.

[4] Blessum is a terp (artificial living hill) village from the early Middle Ages, and was known to be inhabited in the 9th century.

Nowadays, it is only used 8 times a year as church, and its main purpose is village house and bed and breakfast.

[5] Ironically, Blessum has become more isolated due to the nearby construction of railway lines and motorways,[8] because it is nowadays located at a dead-end road.

There was a constant watch from the church tower and a silent alarm was given when people approached the village.
