Buren is a small, historic city located in the province of Gelderland in the Netherlands.

The city received its town rights in 1395 and has maintained much of its historic charm over the centuries.
Buren is particularly notable for its connection to the Dutch Royal Family. It was the birthplace of Anna van Buren, who married William of Orange in 1551, thereby linking the city to the House of Orange-Nassau. This royal connection is still celebrated in Buren today.
The city's compact center features several historical buildings, including the Gothic-style Sint-Lambertuskerk (St. Lambert's Church) and the remnants of the old city walls. The street layout and many of the buildings date back to the 14th to 16th centuries, offering visitors a glimpse into Dutch urban life of the past.
