Harich is a village in De Fryske Marren municipality in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands. It had a population of around 470 in 2017.[3]
History
The village was first mentioned in 1245 as Harich, and means holy place.[4] Harich developed on a sandy ridge around the church. The tower of the Protestant church probably dates from the 12th century. The church itself was rebuilt in 1663 after a storm.[5] In 1840, it was home to 279 people.[6] In 1942, the forced labour camp Wyldemerk Harich was opened in the forests near Harich.[7] Before 2014, Harich was part of the Gaasterlân-Sleat municipality and before 1984 it belonged to Gaasterland.[6]
