    In the heart of the historic city of Buren stands an impressive Renaissance building that has been a silent witness to centuries of Dutch history: the Orphanage. Founded in 1612 on the initiative of Maria van Nassau, the daughter of Prince William of Orange and Anna van Egmont, this building spread as a home for orphans from the region. Maria, who was childless herself, donated part of her wealth to provide these children with not only shelter, but also education and skills, so that they were prepared for an independent future.
    Translated by
    The former orphanage, during the time of the House of Orange, later housed the Marechaussee Museum. The Marechaussee Museum will unfortunately be moved to Soesterberg in 2024 and can therefore no longer be visited from the inside.
