History

Vilsteren is an esdorp which was first mentioned in 1233 as Hermanno de Vilsteren.[1][2] In 1381, a manor house was established in the village. The current Huis Vilsteren dates from 1908. A clandestine church was built in the estate during the Reformation, and Vilsteren is one of the few villages to remain Roman Catholic in what is now the Protestant Bible Belt.[2] The Saint Willibrord Church was completed in 1817.[2] In 1840, it was home to 146 people.[3]
