Arensgenhout (Dutch: [ˈaːrənsxə(n)ɦʌut], Limburgish: [ˈaːʀənsxə(n)ɦɔwt]) is a hamlet in the Dutch province of Limburg. It is a part of the municipality of Beekdaelen, and lies about 8 km south of Geleen.
The hamlet was first mentioned in 1381 as "dat dorpe 't gene Hoit", and means "forest belonging to Arnold (person)".[3]
