History.

Loenersloot developed along the Angstel River opposite Castle Loenersloot. The castle was built in 1258 by the van Loenersloot family as a loan of Otto II, Count of Guelders. In 1377, it was besieged. In 1766 it was sold to Hendrik Willem van Hoorn and partially demolished, however van Hoorn was declared bankrupt in 1770, and the new owner restored the castle and turned it into an estate.
Loenersloot already had a chapel in the 14th century. In the 16th century, a courthouse and inn was next to the chapel. In 1840, Loenersloot was home to 303 people.
