History

It was first mentioned in the late 13th century as Ruthne. [4] A chapel was constructed in the 14th century, and the judge for Zevenwouden  [ nl ] had its seat in Rottum. Landtags were also held in the village. The chapel was replaced by a church in 1414, and demolished in 1791. Only the bell tower remains. In 1840, it was home to 209 people. [5]

Before 2014, Rottum was part of the Skarsterlân municipality and before 1984 it was part of Haskerland  [ nl ]. Before 1934, Rottum was part of the Schoterland  [ nl ] municipality. [5]
