Hurdegaryp
Hurdegaryp was not always situated at the current
location. The name Hurdegaryp according to the
Encyclopedia of Friesland could mean: the hard
area on a narrow strip of land, in Latin: ripa, in
French: rive. The strip of land was located at the
road called 'Zomerweg' (Summer way), south of the
current village. The 'Zomerweg' was part the road
connecting Leeuwarden to Groningen. At the spot
where now the skating complex 'It Koopmansboskje'
is situated, stood a thirteenth century church
built up from 'kloostermoppen', typical medieval
bricks, with a saddle roof. The street name 'Preesterlānswei'
is the only thing that brings to mind the landed
property of the old church. |
In
the course of the seventeenth and eighteenth
century the village moved the north. In 1711 the
building of the present church at the
'Rijksstraatweg'. A number of tomb stones from the
old church were built in the inner wall of the
entry of the new church. Most of the population of
Hurdegaryp was working in the agricultural sector.
However, the village owes its progress mainly to
the (low) peat lands surrounding it. In the book
'Wandelingen van mijnen oud-oom den opzigter' (Walks
of my great-uncle the overseer) - written in 1841
by M. de Haan-Hettema and published by W. Eekhof
in Leeuwarden - Hurdegaryp is described as: 'A
fairly long region of houses with a church in the
middle' and walking along the 'Slagtepad' the
writer observes: 'This narrow foot path, on both
sides separated by a ditch from the with pools and
swamps filled reed field, offered nothing worth
watching.' In 1830 the 'Zwarteweg', constructed
from 1528 to 1531, was extended as state highway
to Groningen. This 'Grinzer Strjitwei', also
called 'Grutte Strjitwei', made Hurdegaryp to what
it is now, in the positive as well as the negative
sense.
