Skingen (Dutch: Schingen) is a small village in Menaldumadeel in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands. It had a population of around 115 in 2009. Archeological findings in the area prove that the village most likely already existed in Roman Times. A church had already been built in the 12th century when in 1877 work began on a new one.
