Scharl is a small village in Súdwest-Fryslân municipality in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands. It had a population of around 55 in January 2017.[3]

History

The village was first mentioned in 1412 as Scarle. The etymology is unclear.[4] The village is located near the Roode Klif (Red Cliff), a nine metre high clay ridge, on the former Zuiderzee (nowadays: IJsselmeer) where the Battle of Warns took place in 1345 and William IV of Holland was defeated by Friesland.[5] Almost the entire army of Holland including count William were killed during the battle.[6]

The church of the village has been demolished in 1732, and only a bell tower remains. The current bell tower dates from 1898.[5][6] Scharl was home to 48 people in 1840.[6] Before 2011, the village was part of the Nijefurd municipality and before 1984 it belonged to Hemelumer Oldeferd municipality.[6]
