It was founded by German knights who lived in the castle for several hundred years, however these days it is occupied by monks and nuns. The predecessor of this castle was a motte-and-bailey located further to the west and was discovered in 1995. It is said that the townfounder Diederik van Gemert lived here.
The spoken language is Peellands (anEast Brabantian dialect, which is very similar to colloquial Dutch).[9]
