History
The village was first mentioned in the 13th century as Scadawerth, and means "cut-off parcel" and "terp".[2] Schraard is a terp (artificial living hill) village on the former Marnesleek. It was a near perfect radial structure, however the buildings are somewhat random, and the church is not in the middle, but on the southern edge.[3]
The church dates from the 13th century, however the tower is from the 12th century. The church used to be a site of pilgrimage before the Reformation.[3][4]
Schraard was home to 252 people in 1840.[4] Before 2011, the village was part of the Wûnseradiel municipality.[4]
