History

The village was first mentioned in the middle of the 11th century as Hercena. The etymology is unknown. [3] Herten developed in the Middle Ages along the Maas. In 1716, it became part of the Austrian Upper Guelders. [4]

The Catholic St Michael Church was originally from the 13th century. In 1881, the tower collapsed and a new church was built in Gothic Revival style. The church was completely destroyed in 1945, and a new church was built between 1953 and 1954 and was designed by Hendrik Willem Valk  [ nl ]. [4]

Herten was home to 153 people in 1840. [5] It was severely damaged during World War II. After the war, it became a commuter's village for Roermond. [4] Herten was a separate municipality until 1991, when it was merged with Roermond. [6] The municipality also covered the smaller villages of Merum and Ool. Even though Roermond and Herten have formed a single urban area, Herten is a separate village. [5]
