The den of Sint Brigida is a den that is placed annually on the second Saturday after Easter in front of the Sint-Brigida Church in Noorbeek. It is closely related to the pine plantations in the rest of South Limburg and a typical example of the Christianization of an originally pagan ritual around the maypole.

The Church of St. Brigida dates back to around 1100.

The building consists of a square west tower with two sections, a three-aisled nave with bluestone columns with Maas capitals, a three-sided closed choir, a sacristy, a portal and a baptistery. The Maaskapitels are sculpted heads in various motifs on top of the columns and are a characteristic of architecture in the Maasland. The remains of murals are located in the north aisle. The nave consists of four bays. the nave and the choir both have net vaults with paintings from around 1500, creating a visual unity. There is a reduced triumphal arch between the two building parts.
