View of Wierum, a village in the municipality of Dongeradeel in the province Friesland of the Netherlands. Originally the 11th century church stood in the middle of the mound (wierde), but inundations led to the disappearance of the north-eastern side of the village. As a consequence the church lies at the foot of the seadyke now. The sea behind the dyke is called Wadden Sea and is listed as a UNESCO's World Heritage Site.
