History

The village was first mentioned in 1369 as Nesse and means headland.[5] Nes is a terp (artificial living mound) village from the early middle ages with a rectangular structure with three paths. The Dutch Reformed church dates from the 12th century, and the tower was added slightly later. The building was restored in 1974.[6]
