Weurt is a village in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is a part of the municipality of Beuningen, and lies about 0.1 km West of Nijmegen.
Weurt was a separate municipality until 1818, when it was merged with Beuningen.[3]
It was first mentioned in 1148 as Vurdene, and means "land near water".[4] Weurt developed along the Waal River.[5] In 1840, it was home to 451 people.[6]
A large brickworks resulted in a population increase. The 1837 church became too small,[6] and was replaced by the St Andrews Church which was completed in 1898.[5] After World War II, the village was extended southwards, and now borders the industrial area of Nijmegen.[5]
