Aalbeek

Aalbeek (Dutch: [ˈaːlbeːk]; Limburgish: Aolbaek) is a hamlet in the municipality of Beekdaelen in the province of Limburg in the Netherlands.

Aalbeek consists of a winding strap of approximately 115 houses and farms in a dry valley, surrounded by agricultural and horticultural areas and nature.

The Aalbeek estate, which dates from the seventeenth century, was centrally located in the village.

This later became the country residence with an English garden of André Charles Membrede (1758–1831), once speaker of the House of Representatives of the States General under King William I of the Netherlands.

This special situation came to an end when all of Hulsberg and Wijnandsrade were divided into the municipality of Nuth.
