history

Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Mariahout

In the period after 1920, the heather in the western part of the municipality of Lieshout was reclaimed. Many new farms emerged , which together with an existing settlement formed the basis for a new village community. This community was officially founded in 1933 with the name Mariahout. This name is a contraction of Maria , the patron saint of the new parish , and Lieshout. Until 1997 Mariahout was part of the municipality of Lieshout. Since the municipality of Lieshout was dissolved on January 1, 1997, the village has been part of the new municipality of Laarbeek.
