Scharl is a small village in Súdwest-Fryslân municipality in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands.

[4] The village is located near the Roode Klif (Red Cliff), a nine metre high clay ridge, on the former Zuiderzee (nowadays: IJsselmeer) where the Battle of Warns took place in 1345 and William IV of Holland was defeated by Friesland.

[5] Almost the entire army of Holland including count William were killed during the battle.

[6] The church of the village has been demolished in 1732, and only a bell tower remains.
