Wierum is a village in Noardeast-Fryslân in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands with a population of around 339 in January 2017. Before 2019, the village was part of the Dongeradeel municipality.
== History == The village was first mentioned in 1335 as Weyrum, and probably means terp (artificial living mound). Wierum is a terp village which developed in the early middle ages. The northern part of the terp was washed away by the Wadden Sea which gives the church an eccentric appearance. It used to be a fishing village. The Dutch Reformed church was built around 1200. The tower was restored in 1984.
