The most important points are the Meijster Toren and the Rensumaborg (dated 1700, not open for public). The Meijster Toren dated from the thirteenth century, but was rebuilt at the end of the 19th century in original style, after a fire destroyed it.
It had a population of around 3,325 in January 2017.[3]
Uithuizermeeden was a separate municipality until 1979, when it became part of Hefshuizen.[4]
