Doenrade is a village in the southern Dutch province of Limburg. Historically, its name has also been spelled Dudenrode and Doenradt and was along a main trade route between Germany and southern Limburg.[3] Until 1982 it was a part of the municipality of Oirsbeek but was transferred to the municipality of Schinnen. In 2019 that municipality merged with Onderbanken and Nuth to form Beekdaelen. It lies about 4 km southeast of Sittard and borders the town of Hillensberg to the north.
In 2010, Doenrade had 1,135 inhabitants.[4] The area of the town is 4.6 km², and contained 460 households.
Doenrade Castle, which was built around 1117,[5] is situated on the edge of the town and is a popular place to stay for tourists visiting Limburg as it has been turned into a hotel and restaurant. The towns rolling hills, bucolic pastureland, and historic buildings make it seem to visitors that they've stepped back in time.[6]
