Burgwerd

Burgwerd (Dutch: [/ˈbʏrx.ʋərt/]; West Frisian: Burchwert) is a small village in Súdwest-Fryslân in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands. It had a population of around 315 in January 2017. It is located near the Boalserter Trekfeart.

Burgwerd was originally a village on a terp or mound on the Dieperderhimpolder dike. In the 13th century it was known as Borghwarth. The village has four Rijksmonuments; Johanneskerk, the church which dates to the 13th century; two windmills, the Aylvapoldermolen and De Heimerter Mole; and the ornate iron fence surrounding the Dutch Reformed church.

On 21 July 2006 there was a reunion of inhabitants and former residents of Burgwerd. Before 2011, the village was part of the Wûnseradiel municipality.
