History

The village was first mentioned in the 13th century as Tyelahusum, and means "settlement of Tjalle". [4] The church was demolished in 1817, however the tower has remained standing. [5]

Tjalhuizum was home to 51 people in 1840. [5] In 1972, a 10 metres (33 ft) high World War II monument has been placed in Tjalhuizum along the IJsbrechtum naar Nijland. The monument serves as a remembrance for the lost lives in the municipality of Wymbritseradiel. [6] Annually on 4 May, the school children from IJsbrechtum and Nijland walk to the monument, observe two of minutes of silence at 20:00 followed by the signing of the Frisian anthem. [5] Before 2011, the village was part of the Wymbritseradiel municipality. [5]
