Midden-Drenthe

Midden-Drenthe (Dutch pronunciation: [ˌmɪdə(n) ˈdrɛntə] ⓘ) is a municipality in the northeastern Netherlands.

The village of Westerbork gives its name to the Westerbork deportation and (later) concentration camp, located about 7 km north of the village, in the forests of Hooghalen.

The Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT) array was installed near the site of the camp in 1969.

There are 16 primary schools in the municipality as of 2023.
