Nunhem (Limburgish: Nunem) is a village in the Dutch province of Limburg. It is located in the municipality of Leudal, 1 km north of Haelen.[3]
History
[edit | edit source]The village was first mentioned in 1306 as Nunhem, and means "new settlement".[4] Nunhem developed along the Haelense Beek.[5]
The Catholic St Servatius Church is a single aisled church. The tower dates from the 14th century and was probably enlarged in the 18th century. The church was built in 1893 in Gothic Revival style.[5] The St Servatius Chapel is a site of pilgrimage. There is a well behind the chapel which, according to legend, was dug by Servatius of Tongeren and used to baptise people.[6]
Huis Nunhem is a manor house which was first attested in 1458. In the early-18th century, the current house was built which was remodelled in 1778 and corner towers were added. The estate burnt down in 1947 and restored in 1999.[5]
Nunhem was home to 166 people in 1840.[6]
