In the centuries-old town hall on the Market Square in Buren you will find the Museum Buren & Oranje. Buren is inextricably linked with the royal family. Here in 1551 Prince William of Orange married his first bride, the wealthy Anna van Egmont. Both were only eighteen years old. This first Orange marriage in the Netherlands made Countess Anna a princess and the prince the richest nobleman of our Low Countries. Anna van Buren is not only the first, but also the only Dutch bride of our reigning House of Orange.
In the immediate vicinity of Buren, you will find a Royal Orphanage, corn mill ‘De Prins van Oranje’ and hotel-restaurant ‘De Prins’. But to discover the background of the royal connection, visit the Museum Buren and Oranje.
