Maasbree

Maasbree (Dutch: [maːzˈbreː] ⓘ; Limburgish: Bree) is a former municipality and a town in southeastern Netherlands.

[3] In the Middle Ages Maasbree and Baarlo belonged to the duchy of Guelders.

Around 1702, at the time of the War of the Spanish Succession, Maasbree was occupied by Prussia and remained Prussian until 1814.

Maasbree used to be a fiefdom with a castle called Huis Bree, which has now disappeared.

The punk rock group Sex Pistols performed at Maf Centrum on 11 December 1977, as part of their Dutch Tour.
