In the centuries-old town hall on the Market Square in Buren you will find the Museum Buren & Oranje. Buren is inextricably linked with the royal family. Here in 1551 Prince William of Orange married his first bride, the wealthy Anna van Buren-Egmond. Both were only eighteen years old. This first Orange marriage in the Netherlands made Countess Anna a princess and the prince the richest nobleman of our Low Countries. Anna van Buren is not only the first, but also the only Dutch bride of our reigning House of Orange.
Although you can find a Royal Orphanage, corn mill 'The Prince of Orange' and hotel-restaurant 'The Prince', in Buren hardly anything of the rich royal history was to be found. Museum Buren and Orange fills this need.
