Frieschepalen ( West Frisian: Fryske Peallen) is a village in the municipality of Opsterland in the east of Friesland, the Netherlands. It had a population of around 1,015 in January 2017. [3]
The village was first mentioned in 1622 as Vriesche Palen, and means "Frisian border poles" which refers to the border with the province of Groningen. [4] A sconce was built in 1593 on the border to guard against the Spanish. [4] The sconce was conquered in 1672 by Christoph Bernhard von Galen, the Prince-Bishop of Münster. [5]
In 1650, the Drachtster Compagnonsvaart was dug and Frieschepalen developed into a peat colony. In 1927, a Reformed Church was built in the village. [5]
