Op 't hoekje van de Hooigracht
En van den Nieuwen Rijn
Daar zwoer hij, dat hij zijn leven lang
Mijn boezemvriend zou zijn.

En halverwegen tusschen
De Vink en de Haagsche Schouw,
Daar brak hij, zes weken later zoowat,
Den eed van vriendentrouw.

The village Foudgum is famous because the Dutch 19th century writer and poet François Haverschmidt was a minister there from 1859 to 1862. The difference between his student days in Leiden and this rural village with more conservative attitudes could not be greater.
Foudgum has since decided to honour Haverschmidt by naming several streets after him and placing a monument in front of the church.

Foudgum in Friesland: Church

Records of a church on this spot go back to the 12th century. It is built on a slight hill (terp in Dutch), to keep it dry when there was a flood. Most of the church was rebuilt in the early 19th century, but a piece of the tower is still original.

Former student digs of the poet Piet Paaltjens

Piet Paaltjens was the nom-de-plume of François HaverSchmidt. He published a very popular collection of poetry called "Snikken en grimlachjes" ("Sobs and Bitter Grins", it has been translated into English by Jacob Lowland as Everlastings). It pokes fun at romantic poetry of the day (1860s). The commemorative stone bears the name of Paaltjens. HaverSchmidt became a minister in the Dutch protestant church and published stories under his own name. He suffered from depression all his life and in the end this "strangling angel" caused him to commit suicide.
