Jorwert (Dutch: Jorwerd) is a village in Friesland, in the municipality of Leeuwarden, with a population of 342 in January 2017.[3]
The nickname for inhabitants of Jorwert is "Dweilstikken", meaning poor people who are dependent of rich ones. The village is built around a central "terp", a man-made mound between 4 and 8 feet tall built to provide relief from the high tides of the sea before dykes were constructed around the 10th century.
