On the edge of the peat bog De Peel, the seigniory of Asten was founded many centuries ago. It also included the communities of Ommel and Heusden. 

In the fifteenth century, a man called Jan die Smet van der Diesdunc lived on the Diesdonk, whose traces are still visible in Asten after more than five and a half centuries. In fact, in the tower of the Heilige Maria Presentatie church, you can see a bell dated 1447 on which, among others, his name appears. 

There is a commemorative statue of him on Koningsplein, and a bronze 'trail' with proverbs about bells and time runs through Asten.
