Mantgum is a village in Leeuwarden municipality in the province Friesland of the Netherlands and had around 1,172 citizens in January 2017.
==History== The village was first mentioned in the 13th century Mantingum, and means "settlement of the people of Mante (person)". Mantgum is a terp (artificial living mound) village which originates from around 700. A main road used to pass through the village and over the terp. The Dutch Reformed church was built around 1500 as a replacement of a 13th century church. Between 1865 and 1867, it was enlarged and received Gothic Revival elements. The tower was added in 1868.
