Babyloniënbroek is a village in the Dutch province of North Brabant.
It is in the municipality of Altena, about 7 km northwest of the city of Waalwijk.
'Broek' is a word linked to the root of the English word, 'Brook' for stream or the springs of a stream, and the meaning in Dutch is very similar, meaning swamp or swampy.
[3] Babyloniënbroek is a linear settlement which started as a cultivation project by the monastery of Sint-Truiden around 1130 alongside a canal which no longer exists.
[4][3] The Dutch Reformed church building probably dates from the 14th century.
