Waalre

Waalre (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈʋaːlrə] ⓘ) is an affluent municipality and town in the province of North Brabant in the southern Netherlands, immediately south of the city of Eindhoven.

Waalre is often called the Groenfontein (Green fountain) due to its civic policy of providing a variety of trees in its streets.

Waalre is considered one of the richest villages in the Netherlands due to the numerous millionaires living there.

The spoken language is Kempenlands (an East Brabantian dialect, which is very similar to colloquial Dutch).

In July 2012 the town hall of Waalre was destroyed by a fire that resulted from two cars driving into the building from opposite ends at night.
