Lippenhuizen (West Frisian: Lippenhuzen) is a village in the municipality of Opsterland in the east of Friesland, the Netherlands. It had a population of around 1,330 in January 2017.[3]

History

The village was first mentioned in 1315 as Luppingahusum, and means houses of the Luppinga family.[4] Lippenhuizen developed on a sandy ridge in a heath and moorland region. In 1718, the Opsterlandse Compagnonsvaart was extended to near the church for the excavation of peat. The Dutch Reformed church dates from 1743.[5] In 1860, a tower was added to the church.[6]

Lippenhuizen was home to 1,002 people in 1840.[6]
