history
Until the 1930s, the church square was surrounded by a moat that led into the church pond towards the Swist . The church and parish of Morenhoven, as a subsidiary parish, belonged to the parish of Miel for a long time . It was not until 1610 or 1634 that an independent pastor was established in Morenhoven, which was financed by a donation country until the 20th century .
description
