History
It was first mentioned in the late 13th century as Ruthne.[4] A chapel was constructed in the 14th century, and the judge for Zevenwouden had its seat in Rottum. Landtags were also held in the village. The chapel was replaced by a church in 1414, and demolished in 1791. Only the bell tower remains. In 1840, it was home to 209 people.[5]
Before 2014, Rottum was part of the Skarsterlân municipality and before 1984 it was part of Haskerland. Before 1934, Rottum was part of the Schoterland municipality.[5]
