Editing Maasbree (section)

== History ==
In the [[Middle Ages]] Maasbree and Baarlo belonged to the duchy of [[Guelders]]. Around 1702, at the time of the [[War of the Spanish Succession]], Maasbree was occupied by [[Prussia]] and remained Prussian until 1814. In 1815 Maasbree became part of the [[United Kingdom of the Netherlands]].

Maasbree used to be a [[fiefdom]] with a castle called ''Huis Bree'', which has now disappeared.

The [[punk rock]] group [[Sex Pistols]] performed at Maf Centrum on 11 December 1977, as part of their Dutch Tour. This would be the last date of the tour, as the final 2 dates in [[Winschoten]] and [[Rotterdam]] were cancelled.
