Bornerbroek

History

In the late Middle Ages, Bornerbroek was the name of a group of farms. According to tradition, the village was originally meant to be located more in the vicinity of Enter, but during transport, the axis of the vehicle transporting the building materials for the new church (the first St. Stephen's church) broke, leading to the decision to build the church at that spot.The suffix "-broek" in the village name is a reference to a marsh in the vicinity of the village. Names like "De Mors" (A district of Bornerbroek) also point to this.

The current St Stephen's church was built in 1856 and fundamentally reconstructed in 1919-1920 by A.J. Kropholler.
