Twijzelerheide (West Frisian: Twizelerheide) is a village in Achtkarspelen in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands. It had a population of around 1800 in 2017.[3]
A dialect of Wood Frisian, Westereendersk dialect, is spoken in this village.
The village was first mentioned in 1718 as heyde, and means "heath near Twijzel".[4] Twijzelerheide developed in the 19th century as a heath cultivation project. The Dutch Reformed Church dates from 1878.[5] Twijzelerheide and Zwagerbosch have grown together, and nowadays share resources and can be considered a twin village.[6]
