Vinkega (Western Frisian: Finkegea) is a village in Weststellingwerf in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands. It had a population of around 200 in 2017.[3]
The village was first mentioned in 1408 as Bennickegae. In 1542 to 1543, it became Finckega(e), and means "settlement of Finke".[4] The Dutch Reformed church dates from 1899. The iconic open spire was demolished in 1969 and replaced by a simple gable roof. Between 1975 and 2006, it served as a studio. Since 2018, it is the village house.
Vinkega was home to 344 people in 1840.[5]
