The village was first mentioned in 1306 as Nunhem, and means "new settlement". [4] Nunhem developed along the Haelense Beek . [5]
The Catholic St Servatius Church is a single aisled church. The tower dates from the 14th century and was probably enlarged in the 18th century. The church was built in 1893 in Gothic Revival style.
