History
It was first mentioned in the 15th century Aeltsbuur. The etymology is unclear, however Lytsewâld means "little forest".[4] Augsbuert-Lytsewâld had a chapel as early as 1347. In 1782, the current church built. In 1975 it was restored, and was in use by a music school and brass band until 2010, and nowadays it can be rented for weddings, funerals and family gatherings.[5]
In 1840, Augsbuert-Lytsewâld was home to 165 people.[5]
The village's official name was changed from Augsbuurt to Augsbuert-Lytsewâld in 2023.[6][7]
