Terhorst (in Limburgs dialect: Terhoorsj) is a little hamlet of 33 houses and part of the village of Banholt (in Limburgs dialect: Tebannet), which is in the municipality of Eijsden-Margraten in the province of Limburg, Netherlands.[3] In the middle of the village, Terhorst has its own little chapel built in 1949 and every year in August there is the traditional annual Chapel party (kapelfeest). [4]

Terhorst is not a statistical entity,[1] and the postal authorities have placed it under Banholt.[2] It was first mentioned between 1803 and 1820 as Terhorst, and means "height with growth".[5]
