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.
