**Exmorra** ([West Frisian](/source/West_Frisian_language): *Eksmoarre*) is a village in [Súdwest-Fryslân](/source/S%C3%BAdwest-Frysl%C3%A2n) in the province of [Friesland](/source/Friesland), the [Netherlands](/source/Netherlands). It had a population of around 470 in January 2017.[3]

## History

The village was first mentioned in 855 as Aspanmora. The etymology is unclear.[4] Exmorra is a *[terp](/source/Terp)* (artificial mount village) from the middle ages.[5] The village used to be surrounded by lake and the economy was partially based on fishing. With the *[poldering](/source/Polder)* of the lakes, it turned into an agricultural community.[6]

The Dutch Reformed Church was built in the 13th century from yellow and red bricks. The tower collapsed in 1836 in a storm and was rebuilt. The church was extensively restored between 1963 and 1966.[5][6]

Exmorra was home to 168 people in 1840.[7]

Before 2011, the village was part of the [Wûnseradiel](/source/W%C3%BBnseradiel) municipality.[7]

## Overview

The village has a Christian primary school.[7] Every year there is a village festival in August, for which many different activities are being organized.[7] There are several neighbourhood associations who organize these activities. Some years, a themed parade takes place. Exmorra has a monthly paper for the residents of Exmorra and [Allingawier](/source/Allingawier).[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

A few companies are located in Exmorra, among others a shop of an artist who makes glass sculptures by hand. In winter there is a skating rink. There is a large sports field where *kaats* ([Frisian handball](/source/Frisian_handball)) tournaments are being held.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] *Kaatsen* is a popular Frisian sport.

There is a monument to a crashed [Lockheed Hudson](/source/Lockheed_Hudson). The [Royal Air Force](/source/Royal_Air_Force) plane crashed in the [IJsselmeer](/source/IJsselmeer) on 6 July 1944.[8]
