the castle Croy is part of Aarle-Rixtel.
Until the municipal reorganization of 1997, Aarle-Rixtel was a separate municipality.
The spoken language is Peellands (an East Brabantian dialect, which is very similar to Standard Dutch).
Since many decades, the village has been an important location for textile production. Petit & Fritsen was a bell foundry that was located in Aarle-Rixtel until 2014. In that year, the company was acquired by a competitor who became thereby the last remaining Dutch bell foundry. The monastery Mariengaade is a pilgrimage site." - (en.wikipedia.org 06.12.2020)
