Tips from the Community
The current Laarbrug is an iron bridge on a concrete base and was placed in September 1947. Previously, there was a high concrete bridge, built in 1932, which was blown up on May 11, 1940, when the Dutch army retreated. The Wilhelminakanaal is the first Dutch canal named after a queen and dates from the beginning of the last century. Construction began in 1910 and in 1923 the entire Wilhelminakanaal was opened for shipping.

Holy Name of Jesus Church – Lierop The imposing Holy Name of Jesus Church in the center of Lierop was built between 1890 and 1892 based on a design by Carl Weber. The Neo-Romanesque cross-domed church, with its four towers and a dome over forty meters high, is visible from afar. Inside, you'll find beautiful stained-glass windows and period details from the time of its construction. It's a lovely starting point for a walk through the tranquil Brabant landscape.

The memorial site is now used for all sorts of purposes, and there are many reasons to remember something. A peaceful place of silence.

A quiet road that runs just along De Groote Peel.

A nice gravel path that's easy to walk, and you can see a bit of De Groote Peel from your bike. I have to say, back when it rained so much, a lot of it was flooded, and I thought it looked fantastic. Now it's dry, and even the grass in the meadows, or whatever they were, has been mowed.

Based on an inscription on this mill, it has often been claimed that it was built in 1506. Some sources indicate that a mill must have stood here as early as 1419. However, after extensive research, standard mill experts have determined that this mill dates back to the 18th century. Was this standard mill rebuilt in the 18th century as a successor to a much older mill? On May 17, 1771, Asten and the mill were struck by extreme weather, and the mill was overturned. In 1779, just eight years later, the mill was again severely damaged by the storm. The mill belonged to the Lords of Asten for a long time—until the middle of the 20th century. In 1953, the mill was sold to the Van Stekelenburg family. Major renovations were carried out in 1961. On the night of June 15-16, 1970, this mill fell victim to a fire, but remained standing, albeit severely damaged.
