Haule (West Frisian: De Haule) is a village consisting of about 600 inhabitants in the municipality of Ooststellingwerf[3] in the east of Friesland in the Netherlands.
The village was first mentioned in 1408 as Die Hauwele. The etymology is unclear.[4] Haule started as a stretched agricultural community on a sandy ridge surrounded by moorland. Up to the 16th century, wolves used to roam the wilderness. The church was built in 1328. Haule was home to 142 people in 1840.[5]
