Herbaijum (West Frisian: Hjerbeam) is a small village in Franekeradeel in the province Friesland of the Netherlands and has around the 250 citizens (2004).

History

Church

The church was built in the middle ages and dedicated to Nicolaas van Myra. General estimates point to establishment around the second half of the 13th century. A near complete restoration of the church, except for the north wall, was done in 1872 under the guidance of architect P.J. Jaarsma. The north wall consists largely of yellow medieval bricks called kloostermoppen, locally repaired and completed by small yellow Frisian bricks. The tower on the west side was probably built in the 1920s, and has a constricted, octagonal spire, with slate tiles.
According to a gable stone, the church was again restored in 1985.
