The old tower in Sint-Michielsgestel

History of Sint-Michielsgestel

Excavations in 1961 showed that Sint-Michielsgestel already had a wooden church in the 10th century, followed by a Romanesque tufa church in the 11th century. Around the middle of the 15th century a Gothic brick church was built. Close by lies Herlaar, where Dirk, lord of Herlaar, lived around 1200; Nieuw-Herlaar Castle dates from the 13th century, the present castle from 1791.
