Westerwolde, Rural municipality in Groningen, Netherlands.
The municipality spans 280 square kilometers of countryside with streams, fields, and forests, housing approximately 25,000 residents across several villages.
The merger of Bellingwedde and Vlagtwedde municipalities in 2018 established Westerwolde, incorporating settlements with medieval origins including monasteries and fortifications.
The regional museum De Oude Wolden displays works from the Groningen art circle De Ploeg, representing local artistic traditions and heritage.
Two municipal halls serve the community, located in Sellingen and Wedde, while public transportation connects the area to neighboring cities.
The Giezelbaarg sand hill contains a monument commemorating individuals accused during the 16th-century witch trials that occurred in this region.
