Beautiful view of the disused post mill from the mid-17th century, which was restored in 1960.

Gemert Castle is one of the village's most striking historical buildings. The complex dates back to the 13th century and was owned for centuries by the Teutonic Order, which had its commandery here. Because of this long history, you'll find a mix of architectural styles on the grounds: medieval elements, an impressive gateway, later residential wings, and a moat that encircles the entire complex. The castle itself is not freely accessible, but from the road and surrounding paths, you have a beautiful view of the walls, towers, and gatehouse. The surrounding area is charming, with old tree-lined avenues, water features, and historic outbuildings that complete the setting. It's a pleasant place for walkers to stop and take a photo or soak up the tranquil atmosphere around the moat.

A kind of hidden gem. Everyone takes the wide, busy bike path on the "other side" of the cinnamon forest. Cross the Laarbrug bridge and turn right onto the path just before the dirt road begins. A nice change of pace when you're out touring.

The castle is currently being renovated. A 5-star Hilton hotel is being built. There will be apartments for sale (starting at €1 million). The restaurant GEM, featuring Michelin-starred chef Soenil Bahadoer, recently opened. Everything is expected to be completed by the end of next year.

The Lourdes Grotto was built in 1934, with permission from Bishop Diepen. The statue of Our Lady of Lourdes, which is housed in the grotto, is 1.80m tall and stands 4.50m above ground level. The grotto was consecrated on May 30, 1935, and attracted thousands of pilgrims. The polyphonic hymns were played through loudspeakers. The Lourdes Grotto in Mariahout was built in 1936-1937 by Father Van Eindhoven. By the end of the twentieth century, the grotto had fallen into serious disrepair. In 1998, it was completely rebuilt. Many volunteers from Mariahout contributed to the project. On May 30, 1999, the grotto was blessed again. Many people come to pray and light a candle. Especially in 2008, when the pilgrimage site of Lourdes celebrated its 150th anniversary. Moreover, the parish also celebrated its 75th anniversary that year.
