History
The village was first mentioned in 1270 as Heilsum, and means "settlement of the people of Helle (person / hero)".
The stins Dekemastate was probably built in the 13th century. It is a fortified rectangular house surrounded by a moat and stone wall. The original estate was destroyed in 1492 and again in 1498 by the citizens of Leeuwarden. The tower was probably demolished around 1700. The building was modified many times during its history, and currently houses a museum.[7] The stins is surrounded by a large park.[6]
Before 2018, the village was part of the Leeuwarderadeel municipality.[6]
