History
The village was first mentioned in 855 as Aspanmora. The etymology is unclear.[2] Exmorra is a terp (artificial mount village) from the middle ages.[3] The village used to be surrounded by lake and the economy was partially based on fishing. With the poldering of the lakes, it turned into an agricultural community.[4]
The Dutch Reformed Church was built in the 13th century from yellow and red bricks. The tower collapsed in 1836 in a storm and was rebuilt. The church was extensively restored between 1963 and 1966.[3][4]
Exmorra was home to 168 people in 1840.[5]
Before 2011, the village was part of the Wûnseradiel municipality.[5]
