Uden, Former municipality in North Brabant, Netherlands
Description
Uden was a former municipality in North Brabant covering roughly 67 square kilometers in the eastern part of the province. The territory lay at a low elevation of about 16 meters and held a rural character with scattered settlements.
History
The settlement was first recorded in 1190 as Uthen and went through multiple administrative changes over the centuries. Control shifted between German and Dutch authorities between 1397 and 1795 until it became firmly part of the Netherlands.
Culture
The area served as a refuge for Catholic communities in the 17th century, allowing churches to be built along its borders during religious conflicts elsewhere. This role shaped the religious character and architecture of the settlements.
Practical
The territory merged with neighboring regions in 2022 to form Maashorst municipality, so it no longer exists as an independent area. Visitors exploring the region today will find the old settlements and churches that mark where this former municipality once stood.
