Sint Odiliënberg

Sint Odiliënberg (Dutch pronunciation: [sɪnt oːˈdilijə(m)bɛr(ə)x]) is a village in southeast Netherlands, It is located in Roerdalen, Limburg, in the Roer River valley.

Around 700, missionary monks from Northumbria,[3] Saints Wiro, Plechelmus, and Otgerus, built a monastery there, which was important in the Christianisation of the Netherlands.

A community of the Canons Regular of the Holy Sepulchre settled on the hill during that period.

[4] After the Eighty Years' War, this area came under Spanish rule; it was ceded to the Dutch Republic in 1715.

Until the French municipal reorganisation, St. Odiliënberg belonged to the administrative division known as Ambt Montfort.
