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]

History

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]
