Asten: Clock Museum Village in the Brabant Peel
The Nationaal Klokkenmuseum in Asten houses one of the largest collections of bells, clocks, and carillons in Europe. The museum reflects a local bell-founding tradition connected to the Royal Eijsbouts company, which still casts carillon bells in Asten for export worldwide. About 9,535 residents live in this Peel region village, an independent gemeente in North Brabant.
The Groote Peel national park, shared with neighbouring Someren, stretches to the northeast. The surrounding landscape of reclaimed peatland supports dairy and arable farming. The centre around the Markt has a traditional Brabant character. The Zuid-Willemsvaart canal passes nearby.
Helmond is about 12 kilometres northwest. Someren lies roughly 5 kilometres west. Eindhoven is approximately 25 kilometres west.
