Location of Beegden in the municipality of Maasgouw

The Dutch town of Beegden has been part of the Limburg municipality of Maasgouw since 2007 and is located on the left bank of the Maas approx. 10 km southwest of the city of Roermond . The place has 1,748 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2018) and is only 7 to 10 meters above sea level.

In the still partly agricultural town, tourism near the popular shopping town of Roermond and the water sports on the Maas play a very important role.

Beegden was an independent municipality until it was incorporated into Heel municipality in 1991 . With this the place came in 2007 to the new municipality Maasgouw.
