History

The village was first mentioned in 1143 as "aliam Iteram que dicitur nova", and means "lower lying stream". [3]

Neeritter developed in the Early Middle Ages along the Itterbeek. [4] In 1584, a semi circular wall was built around the village to protect against the plundering armies during the Eighty Year's War. [5] Between 1614 and 1795, it was part of the Prince-Bishopric of Liège. In 1839, the border between Netherlands and Belgium was defined, and the Borgitter Castle ended up in Kessenich, Belgium. [4]

The Catholic St Lambertus Church is a three aisled church which has 13th century elements. The tower was enlarged in 1842. [4]

The Armenmolen is watermill. A watermill has been known to exist at the site since 1280. The current mill was built between 1684 and 1687. It went out of service in 1950, and is a residential home since 1972. The water wheel was replaced in 1997. [6]

Neeritter was home to 656 people in 1840. [5] Neeritter was a separate municipality until 1942, when it was merged with Hunsel. [7] In 2007, it became part of the municipality of Leudal. [5]
