Eerbeek is a town in the municipality of Brummen in the province of Gelderland in the Netherlands. Eerbeek was first mentioned in 1046 as Erbeke. In the 18th century, Eerbeek became a centre of paper production. Due to its proximity to the Veluwezoom National Park, Eerbeek is popular with tourists. [3]
History
The village was first mentioned in 1046 as Erbeke. It is named after a stream, however the etymology is unclear. [4] Eerbeek developed near the spring of the Eerdbeek. In the 18th century it became a centre of paper production. [5]
Coldenhove Castle (Dutch: Kasteel Coldenhove) was a castle used as hunting lodge by the dukes of Guelders and the princes of Orange. Nothing remains anymore of the castle.
Huis te Eerbeek is a havezate (manor house) from the 14th century. It was rebuilt in neoclassic style in 1872, however one wing of its medieval predecessor has remained. It is surrounded by a large park, and is nowadays used as hotel and a conference centre. [5] [6]
The water mill Oliemolen was built around and used to function both as an oil mill and a grist mill. A water mill was first referenced at the site in 1395. It remained in service until 1917. In 1967, the building was restored, however the grist mill part was modified into a restaurant. [7]
The Dutch Reformed church dates from 1930 and is a replacement of its 1857 predecessor. The tower which was built between 1858 and 1859 has remained and is detached from the church. [5]
Eerbeek was home to 747 people in 1840. [6] In 1887, a railway station was built on the Dieren to Apeldoorn railway line. It remained in service until 1950. [8] In 1975, it reopened as part of a museum line operated by the Veluwsche Stoomtrein Maatschappij. [5]
