Schettens (West Frisian: Skettens) is a village in Súdwest-Fryslân in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands. It had a population of around 285 in January 2017.[3]
History
[edit | edit source]The village was first mentioned in 855 as Sceddanuurthi. The etymology is unclear.[4] Schettens is an old terp (artificial living hill) village near the former Marneslenk. Most of the terp has been excavated from 1830 onwards, and a stone wall has been built to protect the church.[5][6]
The Dutch Reformed church was built in 1865 as a replacement for the medieval church. The tower was demolished in 1816 or 1819 and temporarily replaced by a wooden tower. In 1877, a stone tower was built.[5]
Schettens was home to 95 people in 1840.[6] There was a school named C.B.S. De Trijetine but it got closed in 2018. Before 2011, the village was part of the Wûnseradiel municipality.[6]
