History

Vierlingsbeek developed in the Early Middle Ages on the river bank of the Maas. In 1756, the village was damaged by a large fire, and it developed along the Venraij to Boxmeer road.[4]

The Dutch Reformed church was built in 1843 after its predecessor from 1804 had partially collapsed in 1839. The clergy house is the former hunting cabin of William I of the Netherlands.[4] The church was decommissioned in 1997, and is used for weddings, concerts and cultural activities.[5] The Catholic St. Laurentius Church was built between 1952 and 1953 after its 1804 predecessor had been destroyed in 1944.[4]

Vierlingsbeek was home to 806 people in 1840.[5] In 1883, a railway station opened on Nijmegen to Venlo railway line. The original building was destroyed in 1945.[6] The village was heavily damaged in 1944.[4]

Vierlingsbeek was an independent municipality until 1998 when it was merged into Boxmeer. In 2022, it became part of the Land van Cuijk.[5]
