Our weaving history

Our weaving history

Textiles are in our blood. The home weavers of Mierlo and the manufacturers in Geldrop ensured that the most beautiful fabrics were altered and woven all those years ago.

Are you looking for blissful relaxation or convivial sociability? In the mood for colourful, historic stories or would you rather spot deer on the heath? It’s all possible with us. Geldrop-Mierlo weaves and entertains.

Visit the weaving museum

Curious to find out more about our rich history in the textile industry? 

Even before the year 1700 the ‘lakennijverheid’ (broadcloth industry) flourished in Geldrop. Even so, the textile industry only started booming in the year 1850. The great factories, chimneys and labourer and stately homes were built in this period. 

 

When you want to go on a truly surprising weekend away from home with your family or just with your sweetheart, Brabant is the obvious place to go. And not just any place in Brabant, but cosy Geldrop-Mierlo. Stroll through the forests and heaths or explore the local culture. Shop in the centre with a city atmosphere but a town’s conviviality. Geldrop-Mierlo has been weaving it all together for years. Shops, cafés, terraces and restaurants: we’ve got it all. Walk through the castle gardens, visit the flea market, bust a move at PitPop or the Kommus Festival or skate on the ice rink during the Wintersfeer. There is so much to do! You will find everything on this site. A day out, a weekend away or a long vacation? Visit us. Geldrop-Mierlo weaves and entertains.

Visit Geldrop Castle

You can find Geldrop Castle in the middle of Geldrop’s centre, surrounded by a magnificent English landscape garden. “Kasteel Geldrop”, as it is called by the Dutch, was built in 1350 by knight Philips the First of Geldrop, of whom little else is known. You will also find the petting zoo, sensory garden and flower garden on the castle estate. But before you leave, be sure to treat yourself to a delicious lunch at the Kasteelhoeve restaurant.
