History
editVilsteren is an esdorp which was first mentioned in 1233 as Hermanno de Vilsteren.[3][4] In 1381, a manor house was established in the village. The current Huis Vilsteren dates from 1908. A clandestine church was built in the estate during the Reformation, and Vilsteren is one of the few villages to remain Roman Catholic in what is now the Protestant Bible Belt.[4] The Saint Willibrord Church was completed in 1817.[4] In 1840, it was home to 146 people.[5]
