Wijnaldum (Dutch pronunciation: [ʋɛiˈnɑldʏm]; West Frisian: Winaam) is a village in northwest Friesland, the Netherlands.
The village center has approximately 100 residents, with about 490 residents in the entire village (including the neighborhoods of Lutkeburen, Haule, hamlet Foarryp and small part of the hamlet Roptasyl).
The discovery of a fibula of exquisite quality started archaeological research (the most extensive excavation of a Dutch terp[4]), from which could be concluded that Wijnaldum was already an important establishment in the 7th century.
This history has been visualized in an archaeological annex located in the old consistory building in the village.
Further research showed that during that time in Wijnaldum, buildings existed belonging to gold and silver smiths, bronze casting craftsmen, glass and amber craftsmen, weavers and a weapon smith.
