Great pub, super friendly service. We were lucky, of course, that we went for a walk during Carnival weekend. Everyone was in a good mood, of course. :-)

In the heart of the Brabant landscape lies a beautiful heathland where ancient juniper bushes take center stage. These irregularly shaped, dark green shrubs stand out strikingly against the purple heather and open sand. They are living monuments: some specimens are hundreds of years old and define the character of this natural area. Narrow paths wind between the junipers, leading hikers past open heathland, small fens, and forest edges. The area exudes tranquility and has an almost timeless atmosphere. Birds such as the European stonechat and woodlark feel at home here, while in summer the heather blooms profusely, transforming the landscape into a blaze of color. This heathland is not only beautiful but also exceptionally valuable: juniper is a protected species and only occurs so abundantly in a few places in the Netherlands.

St. Barbara's Church was built in 1895 to a design by Jac. van Groenendael Jr. The church building, built in the traditionalist style, is a national monument and of cultural-historical significance. It serves as an example of spiritual and typological development in the architecture of Roman Catholic churches in the second half of the 19th century. The church has an urban developmental function due to its special significance for the appearance of Griendtsveen, particularly as the core of the religious ensemble on Helenaveenseweg. Finally, the church is of general importance due to the architectural integrity of its exterior and its rarity in terms of cultural and architectural history. In the cemetery of St. Barbara's Church, you will find the grave of regional novelist Toon Kortooms. At his express wish, the writer was buried in the Peel region, his beloved.

Beautiful church! Roman Catholic and that was nice because my grandparents found it annoying that there was also a Protestant church in the neighboring village of Helenaveen (they were not allowed to go to the fair there).

nice terrace sitting

Picturesque village with beautiful houses, interesting restaurants and lots of greenery.

The Sint-Barbarakerk is the parish church of Griendtsveen, located at Helenaveenseweg 48. The small neo-Gothic single-nave church with staircase tower and roof turret dates from 1895 and is made of brick. (Wikipedia)

The castle is in scaffolding and fenced in. So not recommended at the moment
