History

The village was first mentioned in the first half of the 11th century as Urisheim, and means "settlement of Uri (person)". [4] Ursem developed in the 11th century as a peat excavation settlement. It used to be concentrated around the church, but moved southwards towards the dike. [5]

The Dutch Reformed church is an aisleless church with wooden ridge turret. It was built between 1846 and 1847 to replace a 1659 church. The Catholic St Bavo church is a three aisled church with a lean tower and was built between 1920 and 1921 to replace its 1856 predecessor. [5]

Ursem was home to 268 people in 1840. [3] Ursem was a separate municipality until 1979, when the new municipality of Wester-Koggenland was created. [6]
