History
Mariaheide was founded as a linear settlement along the road from Veghel to Uden. Real population growth never got off the ground though, and in 1907 Mariaheide still only consisted of several farms on cultivated former heathland. However that year, Mariaheide split off from the St. Lambert Parish in Veghel, to form a new and separate parish, the Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish, and got its own church. In 1912, the Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate Conception of the Holy Mother of God from Veghel, founded the St. Nicholas Monastery in Mariaheide.

gollark: Who's going to put a .exe file in /boot specified in autorun.inf before they run the updater once?
gollark: You could do both. Automatically delete the current dumb malware on first run, detect weird stuff afterward.
gollark: Did people just ignore the security implications or something?
gollark: I kind of wonder *what* Microsoft were thinking with the autorun thing.
