Witmarsum

Witmarsum is a rural municipality nestled in southern Santa Catarina with rolling countryside and farmland. The town sits at a moderate elevation and spreads across agricultural terrain shaped by farming settlements.

Dutch settlers arrived and established this place, bringing their farming knowledge and ways of organizing community life. Their influence shaped how the municipality grew and developed over time.

Dutch heritage shapes how people build their homes and celebrate together through food and seasonal festivals. You can see these traditions reflected in the local way of life and community gatherings.

The place is small and spread across farmland, so a car works best for getting around. Local services and information are available through the municipal government office and its website.

The municipality preserves a strong Dutch identity that reflects an important part of southern Brazil's immigration story. Few places in the region maintain such a distinct European heritage connection.
