Groot Bronswijk[edit]

The Brons family used to own a forge in the village where steam powered threshing machines were manufactured. This would lead to the foundation of Brons motor vehicles. In 1873, the charity "Tot Christelijke Liefdadigheid" was founded by the family, and Groot Bronswijk was established to next year to care for people with psychiatric problems.[4][6]

In 1940, Groot Bronswijk developed into a professional psychiatric hospital. The building was destroyed in 1970 by arson causing the death of 17 patients. In 1992, most of the patients were moved to other hospitals, and in 2006 most of the buildings were demolished.[6]
