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]

From 1884 to 1947 Lippenhuizen had a stop on the tram line Heerenveen - Drachten. [7]
