Spannenburg, Rural hamlet in De Fryske Marren, Netherlands.

This small settlement stands at the intersection of regional roads near the Prinses Margrietkanaal, featuring traditional wooden houses amid agricultural fields.

The area originated from Wollegaast and gained its name after Tjaas Spanneburg, who built an inn called Wapen van Friesland in 1848.

The hamlet maintains strong ties to Frisian traditions, with local residents participating in winter activities such as the 1962 marathon race on natural ice.

Spannenburg serves as a transportation hub with bus routes 41 and 42 connecting major towns including Heerenveen, Balk, Sneek, and Lemmer.

The settlement houses a drinking water production facility since 1937 and contains the tallest telecommunications tower in the Friesland province, built in 1972.
