Sterksel is a village in the southern Netherlands, near Eindhoven. It lies within the municipality Heeze-Leende. It's the smallest village of three in the municipality. The spoken language is "Heeze-en-Leendes", a distinct dialect within the East Brabantian dialect group, quite similar to colloquial Dutch.

History

[edit]

The village was first mentioned between 1196 and 1198 as Sterkesele. The suffix means "single roomed house". The first part can either be sterk (strong) or sterke (young cow).[3] Sterksel has been an agricultural community from the Middle Ages. Between 1798 until 1915, it was owned by the Pompen family.[4]

Sterksel was home to 99 people in 1840.[5] Broederhuis Providentia is a monastery established in 1915.[4]
