Heerlen
Heerlen is a
municipality and a
town in the southeastern
Netherlands and the fourth largest municipality in the province of
Limburg. It is also part of
Parkstad Limburg (formerly known as "Oostelijke Mijnstreek"), an agglomeration of around 220,000 inhabitants.After its early Roman beginnings and a rather modest medieval period, Heerlen became a centre for the coal mining industry in the Netherlands in the late 19th century. In the 20th century, architect
Frits Peutz played a major role in shaping the city as we know it today. His most famous design, and a distinctive building in the city centre, is the so-called
Glaspaleis (Glass Palace), listed as one of the world's most important buildings of the 20th century.
