Terstraten

Terstraten, known as "Tersjtraote" in Limburgish, is a hamlet in the municipality of Beekdaelen in the province of Limburg, the Netherlands.
It is one of the so-called "Bovengehuchten", or Upper Hamlets, of Beekdaelen.
All the houses are situated along the street "Terstraten", which runs from the neighboring hamlet Brand via a hollow way towards the "Maastrichterweg".
In between the houses is a little square with a Christian cross underneath a tree.
The houses in Terstraten are officially preserved heritage.
The hamlet is known as a painters' paradise, due to the many 18th-century farmhouses with timber framing.
Between Terstraten and the hamlet Brand runs the stream Platsbeek.
