In 1477 Bennert van Donia, a notorious highwayman, assisted by Eastern European "Droezen" was taken prisoner in the castle known as "it Heech"; he was transported to Kollum; on the way he fell several times voluntarily from his horse; his custodians were so fed up with him that they killed him in Ter Lune (a km away from DNZ). Ter Lune is also the place where the Zwemmer river/canal flows into the Dokkumer Grootdiep canal.
