History

The village was first mentioned in 1398 as Peters berim, and means "house/barn of Saint Peter". [4] Pieterbierum is a terp (artificial living hill) village from the 8th century. It was originally separated from Sexbierum by a trench of the Wadden Sea. [5] The medieval church burnt down in 1843. In 1845, a new church was built which received its Gothic Revival tower in 1878. [6] Even though it has grown attached to Sexbierum and forms a twin village, it is still a separate village. [6]

Walburga State is a villa from 1857. Between 1909 and 1984, it served as the town hall of Barradeel. It was initially located in Pieterbierum until a border correction moved it to Sexbierum. [6] [7] Pietersbierum was home to 380 people in 1840. [6]

Until 2018, the village was part of the Franekeradeel municipality and before 1984 it belonged to Barradeel municipality. [6]
