History & geography

History

The village was first mentioned in the 13th century as Steninge, and means settlement of the people of Stena (person). Staining in Lancashire, England has the same origin. Stiens is a terp (artificial living mound) village with a radial structure which developed before our era along the Middelzee. There are additional terps to the north and south of the main terp on which the church was built. The western part of the main terp was later lost in floods. The nave of the Dutch Reformed Church dates from around 1100. The tower dates from the 15th century and was restored in 1898. In 1933, a monument was erected for Pieter Jelles Troelstra, however it is not for his achievements as a politician, but as a poet. Before 2018, the town was part of the Leeuwarderadeel municipality. The town hall of the municipality was located in Stiens.
