Joppe is a village in the municipality of Lochem in the province of Gelderland, Netherlands.
It was first mentioned in 1608 as Jobstede, and means "the city of Job (person)".[3] The village started as a Catholic enclave near Huis 't Joppe which is an estate dating from 1736. The estate was restored between 1965 and 1967. The Catholic church dates from 1867.[4] The railway station Gorssel which existed between 1865 and 1935 was actually located in Joppe.[5]
