Geulle (pronounced as /nl/; li|Gäöl in Limburgan; Limburger; Limburgish pronounced as /ˈɣœːl/) is a village in the Dutch province of Limburg. It is located in the municipality of Meerssen, about 8 km southwest of Geleen.
The village was first mentioned in 1298 as Gole, and refers to the Geul River which used to flow past the village until the Maas moved two kilometres westwards in the early 15th century.[3] Geulle developed in the Middle Ages at the former confluence of the Geul with the Maas. In 1375, it became part of the . In 1839, it became part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.[4] Between 1931 and 1934, the Juliana Canal was dug and the village was split in two parts: Geulle and .[5]
The St Martinus Church was first mentioned in 1298. The tower contains 14th century elements, and received its current height and shape in 1810. In 1920, the nave was demolished and a new church was built in its place.[5]
The main building of Geulle Castle from 1620 still remains, however the remainder of the castle was demolished in 1847.[5]
Geulle became the main settlement since the 1960s, because the village of Geulle aan de Maas was frequently flooded by the Maas.[4] Geulle was a separate municipality until 1982, when it was merged with Meerssen.[6]
