The history of Schimmert
Schimmert is one of the highest church villages in the Netherlands. The story goes that the name Schimmert originated when Charlemagne got lost during a hike. In the distance he saw a light shimmering and that is how the name of the village came about. A chapel was then built on the spot of the light.
