Castelré (Script error: No such module "IPA".) is a village in the Dutch province of North Brabant. It is a part of the municipality of Baarle-Nassau, and lies some 20 km south of Breda.
In 2000 a millennium chapel was built at the "Kempische-driehoek" 't Groesje.
Castelré belongs to the parish of Sint-Clemenskerk, Minderhout.[1] As Minderhout is a Belgian village in the community of Hoogstraten only a few hundred metres to the west, people are more oriented to Minderhout than to their official municipality of Baarle-Nassau, over 10 km to the east.
History
The village was first mentioned in 1231 as "de molendino de Casterle". The etymology is unclear.[2]
Castelré was home to 305 people in 1840.[1] In 1970, a monument was unveiled for the first air balloon to land in the Netherlands. The balloon was launched in 1870 in Paris, and supposed to land in France.[1] In 1978, the village was entered in the postal database as Castelre without an accent. As of 2022, it has not been corrected.[3]
