It Heechsân ( Dutch: Hoogzand) is a hamlet in Tytsjerksteradiel in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands.
It Heechsân is not a statistical entity, [2] and the postal authorities have placed it under Eastermar. [1] It Heechsân has place name signs. It was originally called Oostermeer, but from 1847 onwards it was listed as Hoogzand. The hamlet consists of about 100 houses. [3]
The Protestant Church of Eastermar is not located in Eastermar, but in It Heechsân. [4] The old church was torn down in 1868, however the 13th century tower has remained.
