Vught: Concentration Camp Memorial and Affluent Den Bosch Neighbour
Vught counts about 25,040 residents and lies in North Brabant directly south of 's-Hertogenbosch. The town is associated with two contrasting realities. Nationaal Monument Kamp Vught preserves the site of a former Nazi concentration camp where thousands of prisoners, including Jews, political detainees, and hostages, were held between 1943 and 1944. The memorial and visitor centre document this history.
Outside this sombre context, Vught is one of the wealthier residential municipalities in Brabant, with tree-lined streets, villas, and easy access to 's-Hertogenbosch. The Vughtse Heide and Loonse en Drunense Duinen nature areas lie to the south. The Penitentiaire Inrichting Vught, a high-security prison, is also located in the municipality.
's-Hertogenbosch is about 5 kilometres north. Tilburg lies roughly 20 kilometres southwest. The A2 and A65 motorways pass through the area.
