1. Oude School / Old School Marker
First school in Schin op Geul. Built in 1870 on behalf of the then municipalities of Schin op Geul and Strucht. The school also served as a teacher's residence, town hall and accommodation for the fire brigade. (Due to the increase in the Lindertel, the construction of a new school was necessary within 30 years). In 1903 the building was sold to the Bemelmans family.
Erected by Heemkundevereniging, Schin op Geul Ondernemers Vereniging.
