Doenrade

Doenrade is a village in the southern Dutch province of Limburg. Historically, its name has also been spelled Dudenrode and Doenradt and was along a main trade route between Germany and southern Limburg.^[3] Until 1982 it was a part of the municipality of Oirsbeek but was transferred to the municipality of Schinnen. In 2019 that municipality merged with Onderbanken and Nuth to form Beekdaelen. It lies about 4 km southeast of Sittard and borders the town of Hillensberg to the north.
