History
The village was first mentioned between 822 and 856 as Mitilistenheim, and means "settlement in the middle".[2] Middelstum is a terp (artificial living hill) village which probably developed in Roman times. It consists of three "house" terps which have grown together. It has a radial structure and ring road.[3]
The Dutch Reformed church was built in several stages during the 15th century. The tower dates from 1487. Between 1661 and 1662, a dome with carillon was place on top of the tower.[3]
Middelstum was home to 1,737 people in 1840.[4]
