Located on the outskirts is the National Museum of War and Resistance of the Netherlands, which originated as a museum for a World War II battle (Battle of Overloon) that occurred around the village from 30 September to 18 October 1944. The village is located close to the A73 motorway between Venlo and Nijmegen.
