Tegelen, Historical pottery village in Venlo, Netherlands
The village sits on the right bank of the Meuse River near the German border, featuring numerous monasteries and traditional Limburg architecture.
Tegelen originated as a merchant settlement during the Middle Ages, where materials such as marl, wine, and coal were traded along the river route.
The village maintains four active monasteries established by Father Arnold Janssen, including St. Michael's, Sacred Heart, and Holy Ghost, serving different religious functions.
A ferry service connects Tegelen to Baarlo across the Meuse River, while the ceramic center continues teaching traditional pottery and tile-making techniques.
The geological time period known as Tiglian received its name from Tegelen due to the numerous Pleistocene-era fossils discovered in local clay deposits.
