Hinnaard village (Hennaard)Hinnaard (old spelling: Hinnaerd, same pronunciation, Dutch: Hennaard),village in Littenseradiel municipality, Fryslxe2n province; it used to be in the former municipality of Hennaarderadeel.
When Marja and I went to Hinnaard it was a very clear day, blue skies,very windy and cold.
We stepped out of the car and could not believe our eyes, across the road was a tiny village (dorp), consisting of about half a dozen houses surrounding a small hill (terp).
what was once part of a church, stood the bell tower in the middle of the church ground/cemetery.
There was a door to go into the bell tower, we thought it would be locked but to our delight it was unlocked, we opened the door went in and found that it still had the bell in the tower.
We looked up and saw that one had to climb a wooden ladder to go up and pull the bell rope to ring the bell, it was huge, we could see the bell knocker from where we stood it was fantastic (I have never been so close to a bell before) in a bell tower.
We then started to look at the surrounding inside the tower and found that is was a sort of little museum and found a file with interesting information in it about the village and the tower.
In the year 1175 this village was known as Hinnaard. The name declared as Hernwerd, (respectively corner-terp).
In the late Middle Ages law for the "grietenij" Hennaarderadeel was administered here. Hence the name Hennaard.
The village used to fall under the municipality of Hennaarderadeel (which on the 1st of January 1984 was joined with Baarderadeel), and both municipalities fell under the new municipality of Littenseradeel.In 1992 the village got its official status name Hennaard back.
At this moment there are 63 inhabitants of this village in the middle ages there were 113 inhabitants.
The old name of this village was"Hernwert", meaning: corner-terp.
The church that used to stand on this hill was pulled down and only the bell tower today still stands .
It has a wooden bell-cage on a stone pedestal. In the terp (mound) of the former Sassinga-state (fortified stately house) a Frisian two-ear pot has been found.
Today a farm stands in place of the Sassinga State. (Dutch). English (fortified stately house).
When we went in to the bell tower we found a file with some history inside telling us of the village people who lived there what they did.
The inside of the bell tower. Looking up into the bell, sorry a bit unclear (bit of the shakes).
Here is a a poem it is written in Fries, it is about the klokhus by Sake Russchen.
It is a village of scattered farms and about ten houses and has a gravel path which surrounds a mound. On the corner of Sassingawei is a reddish-brown stone house with a gable roof, with gables between braiding, probably dating from the latte 18th century.
The residents of the village, you will see in the photograph 's below surrounds the bell tower in a circle.
Hinnaard CoA: divided per chevron a. in blue a silver lozenge with on both sides a golden six-pointed star; b. in silver a red rose.
Hinnaard Flag.
Flag: three equally wide horizontal stripes of white and red; a blue hoist triangle, lengthened towards the hoist with 1/6 flag length and the top at flag center; charged with towards the hoist two yellow six-pointed stars of 3/10 flag height and a lying white lozenge in the point of the triangle of 4/15 flag length.
The division per chevron points at that old name.
The colors blue and silver are derived from the municipal arms of Hennaarderadeel and the CoAs of the families Sassinga and Roorda. Both families lived on Sassinga-State.
The lozenge symbolizes the courthouse and the stars point at the leading position the village had in those days. The stars occur too on the Sassinga-arms; the rose on the Roorda-arms.
In the flag the corner returns, as do the stars and the lozenge. The red stripe symbolizes the buildings and the road through the village.
