Finsterwolde ({{IPA|nl|ˌfɪnstərˈʋɔldə}}) is a village in the Dutch province of Groningen, about 7 km northeast of the city of Winschoten. Finsterwolde was a separate municipality until 1990, when it was merged with Beerta into Reiderland.Ad van der Meer and Onno Boonstra, "Repertorium van Nederlandse gemeenten", KNAW, 2006. {{cite web|url=http://www.knaw.nl/cfdata/publicaties/detail.cfm?boeken__ordernr%3D20061061 |title=KNAW > Publicaties > Detailpagina |accessdate=3 December 2009 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070220041404/http://www.knaw.nl/cfdata/publicaties/detail.cfm?boeken__ordernr=20061061 |archivedate=20 February 2007 }} In 2010 Reiderland merged into the municipality Oldambt. The old municipality of Finsterwolde included six small nearby or connecting settlements. These are also taken into account in the population estimate of 2008, without which the actual population, purely based on the centre and new developments, would be 1250.{{cite journal|author=Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek (CBS)|title=Gemeente Op Maat - Oldambt|year=2011|page=51|url=http://www.cbs.nl/NR/rdonlyres/3A990C18-AE03-4871-B782-2914581C794D/0/Oldambt.pdf|accessdate=18 May 2013|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20141018091711/http://www.cbs.nl/NR/rdonlyres/3A990C18-AE03-4871-B782-2914581C794D/0/Oldambt.pdf|archivedate=18 October 2014}} The village is known for the Galery Waalkens.
