History

The village was first mentioned in the 13th century as de Hontumhusum, and means "houses near Hantum".[5] Hantumhuizen developed during the High Middle Ages from neighbouring Hantum. It is a terp (artificial living mound) village. The tower of the Protestant church was built around 1200. The church dates from the 13th century and was enlarged in 1335. The church was restored between 1939 and 1942 in Gothic Revival style.[6]

In 1840, Hantumhuizen was home to 269 people.[4] In 1891, the terp was excavated.[6]
