Rooms in Deurne

Deurne is a rural municipality in the province of North Brabant, in the South Eastern Netherlands. Including the villages of Liessel, Vlierden, Neerkant and Helenaveen it has a population of almost 32.000 .

In the first decade of the 21st century, Deurne has set its sights on building industrial estates, offices, a local cultural centre (theatre) and shopping precinct. In the surrounding rural area of greater Deurne, existing crop farming and intensive pig/cattle/poultry farming is tentatively being joined with energy efficient hothouse vegetable production. Various manufacturing industries can be found on industrial estates along the railway (West - East), canal (North - South) and major roads.

Nevertheless it is still possible to catch a glimpse of times gone by, here and there. In Deurne village: 2 castles (1 ruin) in the 'Haageind', St. Willibrord's main church (R.C.) (15th ct, with the van Doerne, lord of the manor, family vault), the little protestant church donated by Louis Napoleon in 1815, and the town hall (1895 financed with peat production), by the village square. And further afield some old farmsteads and a pittoresque corn windmill in the village of Vlierden, and a surprisingely green kind of polder landscape in Helenaveen (former peat moor settlements).
