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.

beautiful, varied walk.

Beautiful with all those round shapes!!

Lierop had its own church even before 1155. The patron of this church was Saint Salvator. In 1569, Lierop got its own priest and became largely independent of the church. During the Reformation, Catholics were forbidden to hold services in public. The church of Lierop was appropriated by the Reformation at that time. In 1664, the people of Lierop had a barn church at their disposal. It was not until after 1821 that they were allowed to use their old church again. It was demolished in 1898 after the current domed church was built in 1892.

Only one beam remains of the original, the Standerd, which is at least five centuries old. This is the long, upright pivot around which the entire upper house of the mill can be turned into the wind. Other parts of the mill are younger. Over time the mill has endured a lot. It was even largely destroyed twice. In the 18th century it was blown over during a severe storm and burned down in 1970 after being completely restored a few years earlier. Most of the mills in this area are around one hundred to one hundred and fifty years old. When these mills were built, it was quite common to give them a name, but at the end of the Middle Ages, when this mill was built, this was not yet done in our area. It wasn't until 2006, on its 500th birthday, that the mill was given a name: “The Oostenwind”. Source: https://www.visitbrabant.com/de/locations/2830862817/muhle-asten

Easy to do if you are on a mountain bike. Twisting and turning with many curves.

Ice cream tastes great

The Holy Naam Jezuskerk, in full: Church of the Holy Name of Jesus, is a Roman Catholic church at Offermanstraat 3 in Lierop. It was built in 1892 to a design by Roermond-based German architect Carl Weber. The church has four towers and a large octagonal domed tower over the transept. The two towers on the north side are 40 meters high and the two towers on the south side are 32 meters. The southern towers were originally taller than the northern ones. The interior is spanned by a round vault and a subsequent dome vault, with the dome vault having a height of 42.4 meters. The church has a Stations of the Cross, a hard stone baptismal font with a copper lid and pews made of beech wood. It is the high point of Carl Weber's second creative period. The church is on the national monument list. The church has a church organ with an important part of B.P. van Hirtum from Hilverenbeek and was made in 1856. Organ builder Verschueren from Heythuysen N.L. restored and moved the instrument in the 1970s. Source: wikipedia.org
