For centuries, the core of the hamlet of Straten has consisted of a small square upon which the present-day St. Anthony Chapel was built in 1853. It has the typical form of an agricultural village from earlier times, namely with the farmhouses arranged around a triangular, grass-covered square (which was called a &#039;plaatse&#039;). Behind the farmhouses lay the lower-lying lands used for arable farming. The form of this agricultural village, as well as the buildings, has remained reasonably intact and is therefore of great historical value. This is also why the core of the hamlet of Straten has been designated a Protected Village View by the government since 1992.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/debollen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/520-De-Bollen-over-de-bollen-plek-van-historische-waarde.jpg\" alt=\"Site of historical significance\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"293\" width=\"520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/debollen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/520-De-Bollen-over-de-bollen-plek-van-historische-waarde.jpg 520w, https:\/\/debollen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/520-De-Bollen-over-de-bollen-plek-van-historische-waarde-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" title=\"Site of historical significance\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t\t<h2>\n\t\t\tMonument in nature\n\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/debollen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/520-De-Bollen-over-de-bollen-groen-hart.jpg\" alt=\"Green heart\" itemprop=\"image\" srcset=\"https:\/\/debollen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/520-De-Bollen-over-de-bollen-groen-hart.jpg 520w, https:\/\/debollen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/520-De-Bollen-over-de-bollen-groen-hart-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" title=\"Green heart\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t<p>The municipality of Oirschot, situated in the triangle of Eindhoven, Tilburg, and &#039;s-Hertogenbosch, can rightly call itself a &#039;Monument in the Green&#039;.
