Tjalhuizum (Western Frisian: Tsjalhuzum) is a small village in Súdwest-Fryslân in the province Friesland of the Netherlands. It had a population of around 25 in January 2017.[3]
The village was first mentioned in the 13th century as Tyelahusum, and means "settlement of Tjalle".[4] The church was demolished in 1817, however the tower has remained standing.
Tjalhuizum was home to 51 people in 1840.[5] In 1972, a high World War II monument has been placed in Tjalhuizum along the IJsbrechtum naar Nijland. The monument serves as a remembrance for the lost lives in the municipality of Wymbritseradiel.[6] Annually on 4 May, the school children from IJsbrechtum and Nijland walk to the monument, observe two of minutes of silence at 20:00 followed by the signing of the Frisian anthem.[5] Before 2011, the village was part of the Wymbritseradiel municipality.[5]
