Bitgummole (nl|Beetgumermolen[3]) is a village in Waadhoeke municipality in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands. It had a population of around 911 in January 2017.[4] Before 2018, the village was part of the Menameradiel municipality.
The village was first mentioned in 1622 as Beetgumer Meulen, and means "wind mill of Beetgum". The mill was a grist mill for rye which has been known to exist on the dike since the 16th century.[5] Bitgummole was built on a dike from around 1300. It started to develop during the 18th and 19th century. A church was built in 1924.[6]
Bitgummole was home to 494 people in 1840. The wind mill burnt down in 1862, and was never rebuilt. In 1963, it was awarded village status.[7]
