History
The village was first mentioned in the 13th century as Rawertham, and means "terp covered in reed".[2] In the 11th or 12th century, a dike was built along the Template:Ill river.[2] Raerd is a terp (artificial living hill) village with a radial structure dating from the early middle ages.[3] The village was located near the former Middelzee.[4]
The Dutch Reformed church was built in 1814 as a replacement of its medieval predecessor.[3] When the stins Jongema State was built is unknown, but it was destroyed in 1515 by Saxon mercenaries, however the gate house remains. A 19th century villa is located at the former stins, but it is still surrounded by a double moat.[5] The forest around the estate are currently owned by Template:Ill and is a park with a large colony of rooks and herons.[4] The park has limited access during breeding season.[6]
Raerd was home to 549 people in 1840.[6] Before 2011, the village was part of the Boarnsterhim municipality and before 1984 it was the seat of Rauwerdhem municipality.[6]
