Folsgare (West Frisian: Folsgeare) is a village in Súdwest-Fryslân in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands. It had a population of around 325 in January 2017.[3]
History
The village was first mentioned in the 13th century as Ffoldesgara and means "tapering pieces of land of Foldo (person)".[4] Folsgare is a terp (artificial living hill) village which developed in the middle ages.[5] It was located near the former Middelzee.[6] The village was well connected to the outside world by waterways.[5]
In 1498, Folsgare was attacked by the Vetkopers who burned down the church causing the death of two villagers who had been hiding in the tower. The current church dates from 1875.[5]
Folsgare was home to 141 people in 1840.[6] Before 2011, the village was part of the Wymbritseradiel municipality. In the 21st century, the city of Sneek has extended its industrial zone to close to the village.[6]
