Koepelgevangenis (Breda)

The Koepelgevangenis is a former prison in Breda, Netherlands, constructed in 1886,[1] best known as the prison where convicted World War II collaborators and Nazi war criminals were housed (including The Breda Four).

The Koepelgevangenis complex was designated a national monument in 2001 and housed a women's prison until 2013.

The women were transferred to the Ter Peel institution in Horst aan de Maas.

In that year, it was announced that the entire prison would be closed due to budget cutbacks.

[4] Since March 11, 2022, the location has been adjusted to become a semi-permanent living space for approximately 370 refugees, following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
