History
editBurgwerd 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[4], the church which dates to the 13th century; two windmills, the Aylvapoldermolen[5] and De Heimerter Mole[6]; and the ornate iron fence surrounding the Dutch Reformed church[7].
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.
