Allingawier is a small village in Súdwest-Fryslân municipality in the Dutch province of Friesland. It is about 7 km southwest of the city of Bolsward.
Allingawier is a terp village, on an artificial dwelling mound. It had a population of around 80 in January 2017.[3]
The village was first mentioned around 1275 as Alingwere, and means "settlement of the people of Ale (person)".[4] Allingawier was a terp (artificial living hill) village which was located on a ridge between lakes and pools. It was originally a fishing village.[5]
Allingawiere already had a church before 1000. In 1634, the church was replaced by a chapel with a new tower. In 1839, after the Doleantie (schism in the Dutch Reformed Church), the Reformed community built a little church which now serves as visitor centre for the Aldfaers Erf Route.[5]
Allingawier was home to 114 people in 1840.[6] Between 1876 and 1879, the lakes Makkumermeer and Parregastermeer were poldered, and a canal was dug from Makkum to Tjerkwerd.[5]
In 1973, the Allinga State was built to resemble a 16th-century stins (manor house) with a tower with bells. It was in use as a bed and breakfast, but in 2021, it was for sale.[7] The estate was named after a 14th-century stins located a terp which was replaced in 1873 by a farm and a workman's house.[6]
Before 2011, the village was part of the Wûnseradiel municipality.[6]
