History
The village was first mentioned in 1439 as Gheszerka, and means "church of Gye (person)".[3] Gytsjerk developed in the middle ages on a sandy ridge. Later, a linear settlement appeared further westwards along the Leeuwarden to Dokkum. The Protestant church was built at the end of the 12th century and was enlarged in the early-16th century.[4] The tower dates from the early-19th century.[5]
Gytsjerk was home to 336 people in 1840.[6] The cooperative dairy factory Trynwâlden was constructed in 1896. It was enlarged and renovated in 1921 and a laboratory was added.[4] From the 1960s onwards, it started to become a suburb of Leeuwarden.[5] Between 2016 and 2017, the shopping mall was demolished and replaced by a new shopping mall.[6]
