Bornerbroek

Bornerbroek (Dutch pronunciation: [ˌbɔrnərˈbruk]) (Low Saxon: Boornerbrook) is a church village in the municipality of Almelo in Twente, the Dutch province of Overijssel. Up to the municipal reorganisation of 1 January 2001, the village was part of the municipality of Borne.

The village was first mentioned in 1475 as Bornerbroeck, and means "swampy land near Borne". The suffix -broek in the village name is a reference to a marsh in the vicinity of the village.

Bornerbroek was home to 570 people in 1840. The current St Stephen's church was built in 1857. It has a tower with a constricted spire. It was remodelled in Gothic Revival style in 1919–1920 by Alexander Kropholler [nl].
