マース川沿いの村レウトの歴史は、村の中心部を支配するヴィレイン14世城の歴史と密接に関係しています。中世にはすでに、この城（当時は要塞）には「レウトの領主」が住んでいました。何世紀にもわたり、中世の水城は、2つの堀と跳ね橋を備え、残りの堀には固定橋が架けられ、広大なイギリス風の庭園に囲まれた開放的な邸宅へと進化しました。壮大な並木道が村の広場と城を結んでいます。

St. Barbara's Church is the parish church of Eisden-Tuinwijk in Eisden and a so-called mining cathedral. The church was built after the Eisden coal mine was constructed and put into production in 1923, leading to the construction of several towns under the name Eisden-Tuinwijk. These were located west of the Zuid-Willemsvaart canal. This led to a sharp population increase, creating the need for a new church. Brussels architect Auguste Vanden Nieuwenborg designed a monumental church in the Brick Expressionist style, incorporating Gothic elements such as pointed arch windows. The stained-glass windows in the choir are inspired by those of Chartres Cathedral. The church, with its plump 53-meter-high tower, was built from 1934 to 1936. It is a three-aisled cruciform church. The church furnishings are almost entirely post-1945, but the organ dates from 1939 and was built by the Delmotte studio in Tournai. The Stations of the Cross are made of black marble in bas-relief, and in 1960, sculptor Mailleux created several statues. The Saint Barbara statue on the facade dates from 1982. The church is surrounded by various related buildings, such as schools, a monastery, and a parish center. Source: Wikipedia
