history

The elongated north-south village of Eemnes originally consists of two parts: Eemnes-Binnen and Eemnes-Buiten, north of it . Both have a historic Reformed Church. Both districts previously acquired town charter: Eemnes-Buiten as early as 1345, -Binnen finally in 1439. In Eemnes-Buiten there are older houses that belonged to the former village center.
