Terstraten, known as Tersjtraote in Limburgish, is a hamlet in the municipality of Nuth in the province of Limburg, the Netherlands. It is one of the so called Bovengehuchten, or Upper Hamlets, of Nuth. All the houses are situated along the street Terstraten, which runs from the neighboring hamlet Brand via a hollow way towards the Maastrichterweg. In between the houses is a little square with a Christian cross underneath a tree. The houses in Terstraten are officially preserved heritage. The hamlet is known as a painters' paradise, due to the many 18th century farmhouses with timber framing. Between Terstraten and the hamlet Brand runs the stream Platsbeek.
