Reuver (Limburgish: Oppe Ruiver) is a village in the Dutch province of Limburg. It is located in the municipality of Beesel, about 10 km (6 miles) south of the city of Venlo.[3] The successful metal band Epica comes from Reuver.
The village was first mentioned in 1547 de Roever, and is a name of an inn.[4] Reuver is a village which developed on the road from Venlo to Roermond.[5]
The Catholic St Lambertus Church was built between 1878 and 1880 as a three aisled basilica like church which is oriented north-south. In 1944 and 1945, it was damaged and repaired between 1946 and 1947. The tower was rebuilt in 1957.[5]
The Holy Heart monastery was between 1890 and 1891 as a Dominican monastery with school. In 1921, the school became a regular high school. In 1981, the whole complex was converted into a retirement home.[5]
Reuver was home to 224 people in 1840.[6] In the late-19th century, it started to industrialise.[5]
In 1865, the Reuver railway station opened on the Maastricht to Venlo railway line.[7]
