Terstraten

Terstraten (Dutch pronunciation: [tɛrˈstraːtə(n)]; Limburgish: Tersjtraote [tæʀˈʃtʀɔːtə]) is a hamlet in the municipality of Beekdaelen in the province of Limburg, the Netherlands.

All the houses are situated along the street Terstraten, which runs from the neighboring hamlet Brand via a hollow way towards the Maastrichterweg.

In between the houses is a little square with a Christian cross underneath a tree.

The hamlet is known as a painters' paradise, due to the many 18th-century farmhouses with timber framing.

Between Terstraten and the hamlet Brand runs the stream Platsbeek.
