Firdgum

Firdgum (West Frisian: Furdgum) is a small village in Waadhoeke in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands.

[3] The Dutch reformed church of Firdgum was demolished in 1794 as it was in a state of disrepair, but the 13th-century church tower still remains to date.

[5] In the Yeb Hettingaskoalle (a cultural center in nearby Tzummarum) there is an archaeological support group with a collection of local finds and artefacts and varying expositions of modern artists.

The village was first mentioned between 802 and 817 as in Fardincheim, and means "settlement of the people of Fardo (person)".

[6] Firdgum is a terp (artificial living hill) village and was located in the far north-eastern corner of Westergo until het Bildt was poldered.
