Breedenbroek
Breedenbroek is a Dutch village in the Achterhoek region in the Gelderland province, near the town Dinxperlo, Netherlands. It is located some 3 kilometres from the German border. Since the municipal rearrangement in 2005, Breedenbroek is a part of the municipality of Oude IJsselstreek.
It was first mentioned in 1386 as Bredenbroick, and means "wide swampy land".[3] The land was cultivated during the Middle Ages. The southern part became property of the Lords of Anholt and became known as Klein-Breedenbroek and the main settlement is often called Groot-Breedenbroek. In 1840, it was home to 283 people. The church dates from 1855.[4] In 2015, was decommissioned, and in 2021 the church was transformed into a cultural centre.[5] The grist mill "De Kempermolen" was built in 1882. In 1975, it was in poor condition and restored. In 2002–2003, it was repaired again.[6]
