Niehove used to be the capital of the Wadden island of Humsterland. After the Lauwerszee was created around 800, Niehove (then still Suxwort, Zuidwierde) came to lie on the island of Humsterland. The village became its main town. Only from 1500 Humsterland was connected to the mainland by dikes. The village is arranged like spokes in a wagon wheel: all roads lead to the center of the village. Here, at the highest point, is the originally thirteenth-century church. This is called a radial device. The entire village is protected village view.
