An initial attempt by the famed Desert Rats to drive out the German defenders from Loon op Zand on Friday, October 27, 1944, failed. Will the Highlanders succeed? Loon op Zand is a key position in the new German defense line. Before the battle, residents are forced to dig foxholes. At the same time, German troops blow up the trees along Kasteellaan to block the road from the south. The first attack begins on the morning of October 27. British artillery fire causes the first casualties, including Miss Annette Verheyen, who is in the castle when the shells land. The British attack quickly stalls. To break the stalemate, the guns of the 7th Armored Division, the famed Desert Rats, then fire continuously on the village for eight hours. Despite the unprecedented hurricane of fire and steel, "only" three residents are killed, as the tall oak trees surrounding the castle absorb most of the shells. It is now the Highlanders' turn to take the village. The commander of the 51st Highland Division, Major General Tom Rennie, decides to launch a large-scale attack. One brigade, 153, approximately 3,000 men, will attack the village head-on, while another, 152, will advance north through the woods to cut off retreating defenders. The attack is preceded by the usual preliminary artillery barrage. A civilian is killed in the process. The battle plan is largely successful. The frontal attack from the south is successful, and most German soldiers withdraw to Kaatsheuvel. Only a small group holds out in the cemetery until nightfall. The brigade in the woods fails to block the German retreat. Near the Resting Hunter, the Scots do capture a German vehicle. To their surprise, it is filled with apples and excellent Dutch cigars. The liberators enjoyed this for months to come.

beautiful building in a beautiful location. The estate consists of ± 800 ha of forest and 370 ha of agricultural land and is owned by the Van Puijenbroek family. The core of the estate is formed by the two very old hamlets "Gorp" and "Roovert".

Landgoed Gorp en Roovert is a vast estate (1200 ha) with old deciduous, coniferous and mixed forests, cultivated lands, heathland, fens and over a length of five kilometres a still meandering Rovertse Leij. We can still enjoy the wealth that was earned in the colonies with their slavery.

The White Castle is a moated country house in Loon op Zand, in the Dutch province of North Brabant. It was built in 1777 on the remains of an older castle that belonged to the Lords of Loon op Zand. In 2007, the castle was occupied when the owner, the millionaire Wim de Pundert, threatened to let the castle deteriorate if the municipality of Loon op Zand did not cooperate in a renovation. However, the drastic plans for a renovation were not approved by the Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands. In 2014, De Pundert transferred Het Witte Kasteel to the village community of Loon op Zand. The White Castle Foundation has restored and refurbished the building with outbuildings and gardens with the help of about sixty volunteers. Since then it functions as a wedding venue and hosts small concerts and exhibitions. A daytime restaurant and a bed & breakfast are housed in the so-called 'down houses' on either side of the forecourt. Wikipedia

In reality, there has never been a castle in Udenhout, not even where the 'Strijdhoef' is now located. The 'sunken castle' was a ruin that was located at the beginning of the 19th century in the vicinity of the later 'Udenhout' station (which has now been partly demolished). Huguenots lived in that house and it would also have served as a rectory for some time. Source and more info: Wikipedia
