Skingen (Dutch: Schingen) is a small village in Waadhoeke in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands. It had a population of around 115 in January 2017.[3]
History
[edit | edit source]The village was first mentioned around 1400 as Schengen, and is the name of a stream.[4] Skingen developed at the beginning of our era on a natural height near the Middelzee.[5] Archaeological artefacts have been discovered from the Roman period.[6] Later the hill was extended into a terp (artificial living hill).[5] A church had already been built in the 11th or 12th century when in 1877 work began on a new one. The church was restored in 2003.[5]
Skingen was home to 109 people in 1840.[6] Until 2018, the village was part of the Menameradiel municipality.[6]
