Noorbeek developed in the 11th century on the plateau of Margraten near the source of the Noor river. It was part of the Land of Dalhem and a heerlijkheid until 1626. The Catholic St Brigida Church is a three aisled church mainly constructed from chalk. The oldest parts date from around 1100. The tower was enlarged in the 16th century and received its current spire. Noorbeek was home to 342 people in 1840. It was a separate municipality until 1982, when it was merged with Margraten. It is part of the Mergellandroute. In 2011, it became part of the municipality of Eijsden-Margraten. Gallery
