History


The village was first mentioned in the 13th century as Hetlum, and means "settlement of Higt (person)".[4] Hichtum is a terp (artificial living hill) village near Bolsward. The Dutch Reformed church dates from around 1200.[5]

The stins Wibranda State was located near Hichtum. It had existed in the early 15th century. The estate contained 25 rooms and had a large garden with fruit trees. The estate was demolished in the 1830s and replaced by a farm.[6][5]

Hichtum was home to 105 people in 1840.[7] The hamlet Sieswerd [nl] used to be part of Hichtum, but has become separated by the construction of the N359 road.[5] Before 2011, the village was part of the Wûnseradiel municipality.[7]
