Lhee is a hamlet in the Dutch province of Drenthe. It is a part of the municipality of Westerveld, and lies about 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) north of Hoogeveen.
The hamlet was first mentioned in 1181 as "In Lede". The etymology is unclear.[3]
Around 1800, a little school was built in Lhee. In 1953, it was moved brick by brick to the Netherlands Open Air Museum despite protests from the former teacher.[4] Lhee was home to 229 people in 1840.[4]
