From November 2020, a bronze model of the old village center as it looked 100 years ago will be on the new square in front of the church in Oirsbeek.
Hub Winkens has drawn the old core of Oirsbeek carefully and with great passion in 3D detail over the past five years. Together with Hugo Schaffrath, Bart Lendfers and the Vereniging Historie Schinnen, this citizen initiative was commissioned by the artist Pierre Habets from Schinnen, who imitated the church and the surrounding houses in detail on a scale of 1 to 500 and cast in bronze.
The realization of this was made possible in part by almost a hundred contributions from (former) Oirsbeek residents and companies. The project is also supported by IBA Residents make Parkstad and Rabobank South Limburg East.
The Model is provided with a Braille text and QR code so that the history of the village and the buildings can be read and listened to.
