Ohé en Laak is a small village in the province of Limburg, The Netherlands. It has some 850 inhabitants and is part of the municipality of Maasgouw. Not to miss in the village is the small but beautiful old castle Hasseltholt, which is popularly called "Het Geudje". Furthermore, there is a renovated windmill called "De Hompesche molen". In the past this windmill was used for milling wheat and corn flower. The village of Ohé en Laak has a nice yacht club at the river Maas and currently there are three campsites. The majority of the inhabitants are Roman Catholics, there is a church called "Onze Lieve Vrouw Geboorte" and a chapel called "Sint Anna kapel".
In recent times the bridge, connecting the township of Echt and Ohé en Laak has been renovated to allow for more modern, taller ships to pass.
Due to the presence of gravel in the soil, many acres have been dredged in recent decades.This has created a true paradise for waterfowl.
