History
The village was first mentioned in the 13th century as Asterberen, and means "eastern houses/barns". The ooster (east) has been added to distinguish from Westerbeeren which disappeared in a flood in 1322.[4] Oosterbierum developed on a clay ridge near the Wadden Sea.[5]
The Dutch Reformed church dates from around 1200. It was enlarged in the 14th and 16th century. In 1709, the tower was built.[6]
Oosterbierum was home to 592 people in 1840.[6] Until 2018, the village was part of the Franekeradeel municipality and before 1984 it belonged to Barradeel municipality.[6]
