Bourtange (Dutch pronunciation: [ˌbuːrˈtɑŋə]; Gronings: Boertang) is a village with a population of 430 in the municipality of Westerwolde in the Netherlands.

It is situated in the region Westerwolde in the east of the province of Groningen near the German border.

Later, around 1594, Bourtange became part of the fortifications on the border between the northern provinces (Groningen, Friesland, Drenthe) and Germany.

[9] Around 1960 living conditions in the village deteriorated and it was decided that Bourtange would be rebuilt to its state of 1740-1750.

Bourtange is located in the center of the municipality of Westerwolde and in the east of the province of Groningen near the German border.
