Beverloo Camp
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Beverloo Camp (French: Camp de Beverloo, Dutch: Kamp van Beverloo) was a military installation at Leopoldsburg (Bourg-Léopold in French), Belgium; 70 km southeast of Antwerp.

The camp was created in 1835, shortly after the independence of Belgium from the Netherlands. It acquired a permanent character in 1850.
During World War I and World War II it was occupied by German troops. In May 1944 the camp was bombed by the Allied forces, damaging some blocks. A part of the Camp was also used as a prisoner of war camp by the Germans.
A museum celebrating the camp's history exists at what used to be its hospital building.[1]
