Bennebroek (pronounced as /nl/) is a village and former municipality in the northwest Netherlands, now part of Bloemendaal, North Holland. Before its merger in 2009, it was the smallest municipality in the Netherlands, covering an area of only 1.75 km².
Bennebroek was probably formed in the 13th century and its development was closely linked to the peat harvesting industry.[3]
On 28 May 1653, Bennebroek split off from the Heemstede fiefdom and Adriaen Pauw, son of Adriaan Pauw, became its first feudal lord.[4] Its population was dependent on animal husbandry and transportation.
