History
The village was first mentioned in 1173 as Herebertus de Hese, and means shrubbery.[3] Heeze is an agricultural community which developed along the Grote and Sterkselse Aa.[4]
The heerlijkheid Heeze was first mentioned in 1172. A castle has been known since 1203. The current castle dates from the 15th century and enlarged and probably rebuilt in the 17th century. Between 1796 and 1798, a large English landscape garden was laid out around castle.[4][5]
Heeze was home to 1,814 people in 1840.[6] In 1913, a railway station was constructed on the Eindhoven to Weert railway line. It was closed in 1977, and a new railway station opened on a new location.[7][8]
Heeze was a separate municipality until 1997, when it merged with Leende.[9]
