Here's a beautiful entry to Buren. Don't forget to walk past the Orphanage on the right before you enter Buren itself.

Already the way from the parking lot to the beautiful town of Buren and the view of the old town gives an idea that today we are in a beautiful place worth seeing
town come.

Buren, located in the province of Gelderland, is not just any city. Its winding streets and old buildings tell stories that go back to 1395, when the city was granted its city rights by Willem van Gulik. But what really put Buren on the map was its special bond with the House of Orange. This bond was forged in 1551 when Prince William of Orange gave his yes-word to Anna van Egmont, the Countess of Buren. From that moment on, William became the Count of Buren, and inevitably the Royal House of the Netherlands proudly bears the title "Count or Countess of Buren".

Buren, now affectionately called 'Orange City', has stood the test of time, even during the turbulent years of the Eighty Years' War. When Spanish power dominated the city in 1575, the city managed to regain its freedom in 1578.

Today, Buren is more than just a historical relic. The city celebrates its royal connections with various events and remains a symbol of the deep bond between the Dutch people and their royal family. And every now and then a 'Mrs. van Buren' pops up on special occasions, a nod to the royal connection of this charming city.
