Nijbroek is a village in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is located in the municipality of Voorst, about 12 km northeast of Apeldoorn.
Nijbroek was a separate municipality until 1818, when it was merged with Voorst.[3]
History
[edit]It was first mentioned in 1328 as Niebroeck, and means "new swampy land".[4] In 1328, Reginald II, Duke of Guelders ordered the cultivation and poldering of the area. In 1339, the village became a parish. A church was in the 14th century, and the tower was enlarged in the 16th century.[5] Fransenburg was built in the 14th century as a monastery. It is named after Frans van Apeldoorn who became the proprietor in 1658 and turned it into a castle. The castle was demolished before 1810.[6] In 1840, Nijbroek was home to 713 people.[6]
