Noorbeek (Limburgish: Norbik, English: Noor brook) is a village in the Dutch province of Limburg. It is located in the municipality of Eijsden-Margraten (Limburgish: Megraote) and about 12 km southeast of Maastricht. Noorbeek is one of the southernmost villages of the Netherlands and was named after the nearby river Noor.
History
[edit]Noorbeek developed in the 11th century on the plateau of Margraten near the source of the Noor river. It was part of the Land of Dalhem and a heerlijkheid until 1626.[3]
The Catholic St Brigida Church is a three aisled church mainly constructed from chalk. The oldest parts date from around 1100. The tower was enlarged in the 16th century and received its current spire.[3]
Noorbeek was home to 342 people in 1840.[4] It was a separate municipality until 1982, when it was merged with Margraten.[5] It is part of the Mergellandroute. In 2011, it became part of the municipality of Eijsden-Margraten.[4]
