The Catholic St Gertrudis is a three-aisled basilica-like church with a needle spire. The tower was built in the 15th century. The church was rebuilt between 1858 and 1859 after a design by Joseph Cuypers and the tower was enlarged. The farm Etzenradehuuske was built in 1710 and was part of a castle which was demolished in 1880.
Jabeek was home to 344 people in 1840. Jabeek was a separate municipality until 1982, when it was merged into Onderbanken.{{Repertorium Nederlandse Gemeenten}} In 2019, it became part of the municipality of Beekdaelen.{{cite web |url=https://www.plaatsengids.nl/jabeek |title=Jabeek |website=Plaatsengids |access-date=23 April 2022 |language=nl |archive-date=12 October 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231012171105/https://www.plaatsengids.nl/jabeek |url-status=dead }}
