History


The village was first mentioned in 1350 as Blesdic, and means dike at a bare spot.[4] Blesdijke developed in late middle ages on the road from Oldemarkt to Noordwolde. The Dutch Reformed church dates from 1843 and has a wooden tower. The building is a replacement for a church which collapsed in 1836.[5]

Blesdijke was home to 393 people in 1840.[6]

Castle Old Stoutenburght is a folly which pretends to be a medieval castle.[7] As of 2021, the castle has four towers and is about 27 metres (89 ft) tall.[6]
