Rotsterhaule is a village in De Fryske Marren municipality in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands. It had a population of around 565 in 2017.
==History== It was first mentioned in 1490 as "op Rotster Haula", and means Haule belonging to Rottum. The etymology of Haule is unclear. Rotsterhaule started as a peat excavation project and attracted many people from Overijssel and specifically the Giethoorn region. A chapel has been known to exist since 1490 and was demolished in 1580. In 1840, it was home to 379 people. In 1920, a little church was built which remained in operation until 1982.
