The story of Laarbeek

Watergate of the Peel

Laarbeek is a municipality in the Dutch province of North Brabant, located partly in the Meijer of Den Bosch and partly in De Peel. The municipality was created on 1 January 1997 by merging the former municipalities of Aarle-Rixtel, Beek en Donk and Lieshout (which also included the parish of Mariahout). The town hall is located in Beek en Donk. The municipality now has almost 23,000 inhabitants and an area of 55.86 km2. 

Laarbeek is known for its peace and space, beautiful greenery, abundant water, history, culture and as a wonderful place to stay and recreate.
