Kunrader stone
Kunrade is known for the limestone that can be found in the ground here. This is a yellow-grey limestone that looks a lot like Limburg marl, but is a lot harder. In the past, this rock was often used as a building material for farms, castles and church buildings and is still used regularly today. Kunradersteen was formed in the landscape about 70 million years ago.
