Weiwerd
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Weiwerd is a village in the Dutch province of Groningen. It is a part of the municipality of Delfzijl, and lies about 27 km east of Groningen.[1] Formerly a farming community with its own church, school, and shops, the whole village was scheduled for demolition in the 1970s to allow the industrial area of Delfzijl harbour to be expand. Only about 20% of the original buildings are left.
