History

The village was first mentioned in 1243 as "jn Bornde". "Boarn" is a river name which means bank. Alde (old) is usually added to distinguish from another village perhaps Oosterboorn  [ nl ]. [4] Aldeboard developed in the 11th or 12th century along the Boorne river as an elongated terp (artificial living mound) village. It became a trading place, and developed into a regional centre. [5]

Aldeboarn used to have a medieval church. [5] In 1723, the tower was struck by lightning. In 1737, the iconic tower of the Doelhof Church was finished. It is a slender tower with crown consisting of a three-story wooden lantern with one closed and two open pavillons. The tower is leaning slightly and has a displacement of 1.5 metres (4 ft 11 in). In 1753, a new church was added to the tower. [6]

The weigh house is a corner building from 1736 and houses the local museum. [5] In 1840, Aldeboard was home to 1,485 people. [7]

Before 2014, Aldeboarn was part of the Boarnsterhim municipality and before 1984 it was part of Utingeradeel. [7]
