De Mortel is a village in the Dutch province of North Brabant. It is located in the municipality of Gemert-Bakel. The village is located about 19 kilometres (12 mi) north-east of Eindhoven. [3]
The village was first mentioned in 1408 as "in den mortel", and means "low lying muddy place". [4] De Mortel developed as an agricultural community in the 14th century to the south of Gemert, and is centred around a triangular 'square' on which later a church was built. [5] [6]
The Catholic St Antonius Abt Church is a three-aisled, basilica-like church built between 1902 and 1904 as a replacement of the 1848 church. [5]
The Mediatower is a 127.7 metres (419 ft) tall communication tower owned by Cellnex Telecom. The tower was constructed in 1989 and 1990. It is used as a microwave transmitter and by several radio stations. The tower is also home to a family of peregrine falcons. The falcons first appeared in 2004. In 2005, a bird house was built on top of the tower and webcams have been installed to follow the birds. [7] [8]
De Mortel was home to 165 people in 1840. [8] In 1981, a bronze statue of the farmer Grardje and his boar by Toon Grassens was placed on the village square. [9]
