Laar (Limburgish: Laor) is a village in the Dutch province of Limburg. It is located in the municipality of Weert, just 2 km north of the town of Weert itself.[3]

The village was first mentioned in 1790 as Laer, and means "forest meadow".[4]

The grist mill Sint Antonius was built in 1903. It was restored after a storm in 1954. In 1970, it went out of service. It was restored between 1985 and 1987, but abandoned the next year. Between 2013 and 2014, it was restored again.[5]
