Scharnegoutum

Scharnegoutum (West Frisian: Skearnegoutum) is a village in Súdwest Fryslân in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands.

[3] Scharnegoutum is built upon a man-made hill (called a terp in Dutch).

In the Middle Ages Scharnegoutum possessed a covenant, similar to the situation in the villages Loaiïngea, Goaiïngea, Gau, and Offingawier.

Scharnegoutum had a train station from 1883 until 1938, on the railway line Leeuwarden - Stavoren.

On June 1, 1940 the station reopened, but on November 24 of that year it closed again.
