Achlum

Achlum is a village in the Dutch province of Friesland. It is located in the municipality Franekeradeel, about 7 km southwest of the city of Franeker.

Achlum has about 666 inhabitants.

History

The village has a church which dates from the 12th century and is placed atop a so-called terp mound. Around the year 1260 there was a priory of Augustinian nuns, a part of the Lúntsjerk monastery which was destroyed in 1530. At that time the prior in Achlum was rebuilt but in 1572 the Geuzen destroyed it again. In Achlum used to be a butter factory which processed the milk of local farmers to butter.

In 1811 a farmer from Achlum called Ulbe Piers Draisma established a mutual fire insurance. The insurance society was called Onderlinge Waarborgmaatschappij Achlum.

De Achlumer Molen is a smock mill in Achlum which has been restored to working order. The mill is listed as a Rijksmonument, number 15821.

    These Boundaries Crossed

    by: Oakhelm

    In the morning light something stirred awake
    From an overcast dawn a grey doom yawned
    Though a world remains as aeons pass on
    The will come a day when all will be gone
    One day will humble all
    By dusk your world will fall
    Into a womb to recreate
    To turn forever and seal your fate
    Time has passed for this world to heal
    Nevermore will it repeal
    So abandon the path you wander on
    For as darkness is born so is our dawn
    A black host came near
    She whispered 'have no fear'
    Time has come so on black wings we ride
    To the end of all things, to the ancient's kings
    Dark masters of light procreate with hammers of might
    Stone cities rise from the ground
    From a haunting silence their voices resound
    Far before your race was sown
    This earth belonged to the one with horns
    Ruled in fairness, not in pride
    No falseness was there to hide
    The war reaped a fertile land
    A burning hell turned the world to sand
    No drop of rain fell from the sky
    The leaders cowered beneath their lies
    The fell consumed and abandoned hope
    With burning hatred slashed their leaders throats
    Nothing left but a lingering sorrow
    A dead future, no more tomorrow
    In this place of pain a great sadness brought the rain
    And a lifeless sunset sank and sighed
    After an eternity of blasting wind and ice
    A parting cloud shot a ray of sun
    Foreshadowing a newborn time
    On the wings of destiny cries a memory lost
    Who will remember tomorrow
    These times gone by
