St. Wilbers well

The Sint Wilbersput in Meijel symbolises the well where Saint Willibrordus is said to have preached. St Willibrordus became a priest and came to the Netherlands with other missionaries in 690.

Next to the well you find a boundary or directional stone. This is a replica of the boundary stone that was placed at the St. Wilbersput in 1549. This former boundary stone was a point of reference to mark the border between the bickering municipalities of Someren and Nederweert.

The current stone was placed in 1761, with on one side the coat of arms of the Seven United Provinces, to which Deurne and Asten belonged (the lion with seven arrows), and on the other side the coat of arms of Austria (the two-headed eagle). From 1715 onwards, Meijel and Nederweert belonged to Austria's Gelde.
