Heavy shelling on Pingjum
Heavy shelling on Pingjum
After the liberation of Sneek on April 15, 1945, Canadian troops advanced to the Afsluitdijk. The Frisian resistance advised against the attack. It remembered the May days at the beginning of the war in 1940.
After the Canadians had been festively welcomed in Leeuwaren, it was important to advance quickly to Franeker to prevent the last escape option of the Germans over the Afsluitdijk and the IJsselmeer. The attack against the Afsluitdijk was launched from the southeast on 16 April, but the tanks of the Queens Own Rifles soon ran into the strong German defenses.
After that, the village of Wons was surrounded, but the Germans defended themselves very fanatically at Pingjum. There were many snipers and the Canadians were fired on from the farms. Allied fighters and artillery were deployed to break the German resistance. During the shelling, five farms went up in flames, six civilians, one Canadian and 46 Germans were killed. On April 18, 1945, the Canadians were able to report that the entire area had been cleared of enemies.

Nyenhuis
Nyenhuis
Nyenhuis was a prominent residence of influential Frisian families from the 15th century onwards and likely developed from a medieval stins. Little remains above ground of this noble past, but its history continues beneath the surface.
The name Nyenhuis refers to an earlier noble residence that probably originated around the 15th century. The Te Nyenhuys family owned a stins here, a stone defensive tower that later grew into a larger noble estate. This influential family maintained close ties with Ludingakerke Abbey.
At the end of the Middle Ages, the estate passed through marriage to the Liauckema family. After that, Nyenhuis was mainly leased as an agricultural farm. Little remains of the former noble buildings today, but the site still holds historical and archaeological significance.
