Kronenburg, Suriname

Kronenburg (also Kroonenburg) is a village in the Bakkie resort of the district of Commewijne in Suriname.

Kroonenburg was originally a coffee and cotton plantation[1] founded in 1745 by Johannes van der Gaegh.

[2] Kroonenburg was established as a village in 1940,[3] and defined as the plantations Kronenburg, Rijnberk, Schaapstede, and Goede Vriendschap.

[5] In 1987, the village communities were dissolved, and Kroonenburg became part of the Bakkie resort (municipality).

[7] Since 1948, the Hindu community centre of Shánti Dal is located in the village.
