Recht en Orde Laarbeek
Before 1800, the aldermen of the manor of Beek en Donk were authorised to administer justice. Visible instruments of criminal justice in particular were the jaw and the gallows. The jaw stood in the middle of the village, so that the person who was being jailed was visible to everyone. The gallows, on the other hand, as an instrument of capital punishment, was located as far away as possible from the inhabited world, at the border of the manor. The Recht en Orde (law and order) walking route takes you through the culturally and historically valuable area of the Broek and the Leek.
