Nieuw-Bergen

Nieuw-Bergen (Ni-j-Berge ) is a town in the Dutch province of Limburg. It is a part of the municipality of Bergen (L.) and lies about 28 km north of Venlo. Nieuw-Bergen was officially founded on 9 July 1963 as the new settlement.

After the destruction of Bergen in 1944–1945, a new settlement was built further to the east. Construction started in 1955. In 1969, the town hall of the municipality was built in Nieuw Bergen. In 1975, a church was built. In 2015, a shopping mall was built with apartments and a distinct 25 m high tower to give the village a landmark.

In 1988, two British Royal Air Force off-duty soldiers were killed in the town by a bomb attached to their car by Irish Republican Army (IRA).
