History
[edit]The village was first mentioned in the second half of the 13th century as Lolinghum, and means "settlement of the people of Lolle (person)". See also: Lolworth in England.[4] Lollum is a terp (artificial living hill) village which developed in the middle ages.[5] It used to be located outside the dike, because the Slachtedyk passes the village to the south.[6]
The Dutch Reformed church dates from the 13th century, and was plastered during the 19th century. The small wooden tower was added in 1883 as a replacement of larger medieval tower.[5][6] After the doleantie (schism in the Dutch Reformed church) most of the villagers joined the newly formed Reformed Church. A church was built 1915 and overshadows its Dutch Reformed colleague.[6] In 2020, the Reformed Church was transformed into a community house with a local shop and a bed and breakfast in the tower.[7]
Lollum was home to 169 people in 1840.[7] The polder mill Meerswal was built in 1903. In 1970, it was destroyed in a storm and rebuilt in 1978.[8] Before 2011, the village was part of the Wûnseradiel municipality.[7]
