It Heidenskip (Dutch: Heidenschap) is a village in Súdwest-Fryslân in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands. It had a population of around 335 in January 2017.[3]
History
The village was first mentioned in 1511 as Heijdenscip, and means "wild growth on land".[4] It Heidenskip is a long linear settlement. It is a relative new settlement. In 1851, it contained two buildings and a ferry.[5] The name used for the area between the city of Workum and the Fluessen [nl] lake. During the 19th century, a settlement developed in Brandeburen.[6]
The oldest church dated from 1389, but was demolished and a farm was built in its place. In the 19th century, a small Mennonite church was built, which resulted in the construction of a Dutch Reformed church.[6] In 1979, it was elevated to the status of village. Before 2011, the village was part of the Nijefurd municipality. Before 1984 it partly belonged to Hemelumer Oldeferd and partly to Workum.[6]
