Historical border marker of 3 villages: Rooi, Liempde and Oirschot

Three stones with a border mark the border between Best, Boxtel (formerly Liempde) and Sint-Oedenrode. The place where the stones are laid has been a border point between three municipalities for centuries. The stones have a meaning. In the past, it was customary to place stones in places where borders converged. At the beginning of the fourteenth century, when the "common land" (Sint-Oedenrode in 1309) was issued, the boundary was drawn between the quarters of Kempenland and Peelland. This border point was called "Paal de Scheede-eijk" in the issue of the Groene or Broek municipality of 1468. The border point was given the name Paal de Drie-Steen in the early eighteenth century. The boundary marker is an extension of Hazelaarstraat on the territory of Van den Berk Nurseries.
