Overview
It was first mentioned in the 1160s as Werslo. The etymology is unclear.[4] It consists of two settlements. Het Stift developed around a 12th century Benedictine monastery, and the village of Weerselo which was also called Nijstad. The monastery burnt down in 1523.[5] In 1840, it was home to 558 people.[6]
A fine example of the historic building style in Twente, in the east of the Netherlands, can be found near the Stiftskerk, which in itself is a point of interest in this village, since it is its oldest core that gave name to the village.
The 'Weerselose Markt' is a flea market for antiques and bric-à-brac which opens every Saturday.
