Breugel is a village in the Dutch province of North Brabant, in the municipality of Son en Breugel.

Breugel lies east of the river Dommel and north of the Wilhelmina Canal.

## History

[edit]

The village was first mentioned in 1288 as Brogele, and means "enclosed area".[3]

The St Genoveva Church dates from the 15th century. It used to have a 25 metres (82 ft) tall tower, that was destroyed in a storm in 1800. In 1821, a much smaller tower was built. It was renovated in 1960 and 1978.[4]

Breugel was home to 335 people in 1840.[4]
