Nes is a village in Noardeast-Fryslân in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands, with a population of around 376 in January 2017.[3] Before 2019, the village was part of the Dongeradeel municipality.
The village was first mentioned in 1369 as Nesse and means headland.[4] Nes is a terp (artificial living mound) village from the early middle ages with a rectangular structure with three paths. The Dutch Reformed church dates from the 12th century, and the tower was added slightly later. The building was restored in 1974.[5]
In 1840, Nes was home to 538 people.[6]
