The area contains remnants of a Roman military road from the 3rd century, with the main street still maintaining its original name, Heerweg, to this day.

The Sint Antonius Church stands as the central religious structure in the village, representing centuries of local spiritual and community gatherings for residents.

The village maintains direct road connections to Germany and provides access to the Gelderse Poort nature area, which features developing river dunes and floodplain forests.
