Firdgum (West Frisian: Furdgum) is a small village in Waadhoeke in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands. It had a population of around 60 in January 2014.[3]
The Dutch reformed church of Firdgum was demolished in 1794 as it was in a state of disrepair, but the 13th-century church tower still remains to date.[4] The tower houses a clock dating from 1471. In 1982, the tower was sold to the municipality for ƒ1,- and was restored between 1986 and 1987.[5]
In the Yeb Hettingaskoalle (a cultural center in nearby Tzummarum) there is an archaeological support group with a collection of local finds and artefacts and varying expositions of modern artists.
