History

The village was first mentioned between 1200 and 1225 as Escre, and means "sandy ridge". [3] The Escharen Hoard was discovered in the area in 1897, including two of the known specimens of Audulf's tremisses. [4] The coins are believed to date to around the year 600, at the end of the Migration Period. [4]

The St Lambert's Church was built between 1863 and 1865 as a replacement of an earlier church. It was extended in 1930. The town hall was built in 1876 in neoclassic style. The stepped gable was added around 1900. [5]

Escharen was home to 244 people in 1840. [6] Escharen was a separate municipality until 1942, when its territory was divided between Grave and Mill en Sint Hubert. [7] In 2022, it became part of Land van Cuijk. [6]
