Dieden: village along the Maas

Highlight • Settlement

Dieden is a village in the municipality Oss in the Dutch province North Brabant. It was an independent municipality until 1810. When the Kingdom of Holland was annexed in 1810, Dieden was merged with the municipality of Demen and Langel on behalf of Napoleon Bonaparte, after which the municipality of Dieden, Demen and Langel was created. Dieden was the capital of this municipality. In 1923 this municipality was merged into the municipality of Ravenstein, which in turn was merged into the municipality of Oss on January 1, 2003.
Dieden was traditionally an independent seigniory and was part of the 'Land van Maas en Waal' that belonged to 'Gelre'.
The castle in Dieden was demolished around 1875. The remains of this castle are still visible in the landscape, namely the moat, the bridgehead, a cattle shed and part of the coach house. The castle was located west of the village.

Beacon trees

Highlight • Structure

Beacon trees are trees (poplar and ash) that grow on the banks along the river and mark the boundary between land and water. They stand in a row with a distance of about one hundred meters between them and mainly occur along the diked part of the Meuse. They were planted in the 1930s, near the canalization of the Meuse, as beacons to guide shipping traffic.

View of De Nijverheid windmill

Highlight • Monument

The mill De Nijverheid (previously also temporarily called De Raaf) is a windmill on the Molensingel in the Dutch town of Ravenstein (municipality of Oss). It is a round stone scaffolding mill that is arranged as a flour mill. The mill was restored in the 1960s after a period of decay, after which it was milled until the end of the 1980s. This came to an end with the death of the then owner. De Nijverheid is now in the hands of the De Ravensteinse Molen Foundation. The last restoration was in the 90s of the 20th century.

Castle Moat/Castle Ravenstein

Highlight • Castle

In 1360, Herpen Castle was demolished and a new castle was built in Ravenstein with the building materials. In 1818 the castle was in such a dilapidated state that it was decided to demolish it. The castle grounds have now been converted into a city park.
All that remains of the castle is a gatehouse from the sixteenth century. This gatehouse was expanded in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. In the eighteenth century, the stair tower was demolished and replaced by a second floor with a stairwell. Since 1986, the building has been restored in phases.

The way of designing and producing the eye-catching mesh itself has been a time-consuming task. Professor Martin Jan van Mourik of the Ravenstein Fortifications Foundation: ,,The designs in the fence were devised by our foundation and supplied to an Amsterdam artist. He drew the blueprint for the mesh using a special computer technique. That design was then sent to India, where the entire mesh was hand-braided; a painstaking task that took four months.

One of the figures woven into the fence is the effigy of Philips van Kleef, the namesake of the stronghold behind it. Next to it is a soldier with the flag of the coat of arms of Philips van Kleef on it. In addition, firing cannons, gatekeepers and a standard-bearer are depicted in the fencing.
