Remembering the rights of Bladella

Villa

Favorite Thing: Already very early the people of Bladella Villa got freedom-rights. In the dark centuries of the Middle Ages, farmers as well as craftsmen, were often "property" of a landlord. In Bladel the people got much more freedom when Karel de eenvoudige (Charles the simple) granted them by manuscript certain rights through "Dirk 1" that was the Count of Holland and also ruled over large parts of the "Kempen". A small statue reminds of that important transaction that was done in the year 922 AD.

Fondest Memory: Only the fact that my father was born and raised here, as well as many of my fore fathers, makes Bladel a very special place for me.

Nice page about an easily overlooked place. Such villages can be true little jewels and I'll visit it soon. The RC church is called St. Petrus' Banden, dates from 1926 and was designed by architect J.H.H. van Groenendael. Just to be complete.

:-) The first visit (or comment at least) to this special place. This is a lovely page on a "regular" town; it may not be on a tourist route, but it is interesting nonetheless.
