Langedijke (Western Frisian: Langedike) is a village consisting of about 290 inhabitants in the municipality of Ooststellingwerf in 2017[3] in the east of Friesland, the Netherlands.
The village was first mentioned in 1408 as Langedijc, and means "long dike".[4] The church was demolished in 1830, and only a bell tower remained. The bell dates from 1300 and is one of the oldest bells of Frieslands.[5]
In 1840, Langedijke was home to 36 people.[6]
