Sandfirden (West Frisian: Sânfurd) is a small village in Súdwest-Fryslân municipality in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands. It had a population of around 25 in January 2017.[3]
History
[edit | edit source]The village was first mentioned in 1245 as Sandforde, and means sand and fordable place.[4] Sandfirden is a little terp (artificial living mound) village which developed during the Middle Ages around lakes. It used to be accessible only by water.[5] Sandfirden consists of only one street without a name.[6]
In 1399, funds were provided by Albert I, Duke of Bavaria to build a church.[6] The church was replaced in 1732.[5] The tower was struck by lightning and damaged in 1970. Nowadays, the church is in use for weddings, concerts and parties.[6]
Sandfirden was home to 52 people in 1840. During World War II, the village was home to many onderduikers (people in hiding). One farm was burnt down after a weapons stash had been discovered by the Germans. Before 2011, the village was part of the Wymbritseradiel municipality.[6]
