The battle of Lekkerbeetje took place here in 1600 and is seen as the last old-fashioned knight fight. There is an information board near the statue of the knights.

Sculpture group of two fighting knights on horseback, standing on a large stone. During the Eighty Years' War, the last knighthood on horseback took place on 5 February 1600 on the Vughtse Heide, between Gerard Abrahams van Houwelingen, alias Lekkerbeetje, and the French nobleman Pierre de Bréauté. Both were accompanied by twenty soldiers.
