About Drongelen
Drongelen is a village. Location: Altena, North Brabant. Population: 415. Elevation: 2 m.
Drongelen is a village in the Dutch province of North Brabant. It is located in the municipality of Altena. The village was first mentioned in 1270 as de Drungele, and might mean "open forest near the Drongel river". The church of Drongelen was destroyed by a flood in 1509, and not rebuilt until 1700. In November and December 1944, almost the entire village and the church were destroyed during the fighting between the Allied Forces and the German army. A wooden church was donated by Sweden as a temporary church.
