History
The village was first mentioned around 1275 as Alingwere, and means "settlement of the people of Ale (person)".[2] Allingawier was a terp (artificial living hill) village which was located on a ridge between lakes and pools. It was originally a fishing village.[3]
Allingawiere already had a church before 1000.[4] In 1634, the church was replaced by a chapel with a new tower. In 1839, after the Doleantie (schism in the Dutch Reformed Church), the Reformed community built a little church which now serves as visitor centre for the Aldfaers Erf Route.[3]
Allingawier was home to 114 people in 1840.[4] Between 1876 and 1879, the lakes Makkumermeer and Parregastermeer were poldered, and a canal was dug from Makkum to Tjerkwerd.[3]
In 1973, the Allinga State was built to resemble a 16th-century stins (manor house) with a tower with bells. It was in use as a bed and breakfast, but in 2021, it was for sale.[5] The estate was named after a 14th-century stins located a terp which was replaced in 1873 by a farm and a workman's house.[4]
Before 2011, the village was part of the Wûnseradiel municipality.[4]
