Vrijhoeve-Capelle is a village in the Dutch province of North Brabant. It is located in the municipality of Waalwijk, about 10 km north of Tilburg.
History[edit]
The village was first mentioned in 1523 as "ter Capelle in die Vrie Houven", and means "piece of land free of taxation near Capelle".[3] Vrijhoeve-Capelle developed in the Middle Ages near the peat excavation area on the border of Holland and the Duchy of Brabant.[4]
Huis Zuidewijn is a former estate. The central part and the left wing date from the late-16th century. The right wing was added in the 17th century. The estate was modified and extended in 1763.[4]
Vrijhoeve-Capelle was home to 444 people in 1840.[5] In 1886, a railway station was built on the Lage Zwaluwe to 's-Hertogenbosch railway line. It closed in 1950 and the building was demolished the same year.[6] Vrijhoeve-Capelle was a separate municipality until 1923, when it became part of Sprang-Capelle.[7] In 1997, it became part of the municipality of Waalwijk.[5]
