The monastery was destroyed in 1592.^[4]^[5] A church was built in the late-12th century. The church was replaced in 1876

Baaium was home to 108 people in 1840.^[5] Before 2018, the village was part of the Littenseradiel municipality and before 1984 it belonged to Hennaarderadeel municipality.^[5]
