History
The village was first mentioned in 855 as Sceddanuurthi. The etymology is unclear.[2] Schettens is an old terp (artificial living hill) village near the former Marneslenk. Most of the terp has been excavated from 1830 onwards, and a stone wall has been built to protect the church.[3][4]
The Dutch Reformed church was built in 1865 as a replacement for the medieval church. The tower was demolished in 1816 or 1819 and temporarily replaced by a wooden tower. In 1877, a stone tower was built.[3]
Schettens was home to 95 people in 1840.[4] There was a school named C.B.S. De Trijetine but it got closed in 2018. Before 2011, the village was part of the Wûnseradiel municipality.[4]
