Bornerbroek (Dutch pronunciation: [bɔrnərˈbruk]) is a church village in the municipality of Almelo in Twente, the Dutch province of Overijssel. Up to the municipal reorganisation of 1 January 2001, the village was part of the municipality of Borne.[3]

History

The village was first mentioned in 1475 as Bornerbroeck, and means "swampy land near Borne". The suffix -broek in the village name is a reference to a marsh in the vicinity of the village.[4]

Bornerbroek was home to 570 people in 1840.[3] The current St Stephen's church was built in 1857. It has a tower with a constricted spire. It was remodelled in Gothic Revival style in 1919-1920 by Alexander Kropholler [nl].[5]
