Assum, Agricultural hamlet in Uitgeest, Netherlands
The settlement contains approximately 70 residential buildings, including traditional farmhouses, spread across the rural landscape of North Holland province.
First documented in 1397 under the name Assem, this settlement derived its name from either ash trees or the personal name Ascman combined with heem.
Several families with traditional Dutch surnames like Van Twuijver, Bakker, and De Kanter maintain the agricultural heritage of this small community.
Located at an elevation of 0.3 meters above sea level, Assum connects to neighboring Uitgeest and Heemskerk through local road networks.
The expanding districts of Kleis and Waldijk from Uitgeest are gradually approaching the boundaries of this formerly isolated agricultural settlement.
