Valburg is a village in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is located in the municipality of Overbetuwe, about 10 km northwest of Nijmegen.

Valburg was a separate municipality until 2001, when it became part of Overbetuwe.[3]

History

It was first mentioned in 792 or 793 as "in uilla Falburcmarca", and means "the castle of Falho (person)".[4] The eastern side of the village developed into an esdorp. The Dutch Reformed Church dates from the 14th century with a 13th century tower. It has been restored between 1968 and 1971.[5] The grist mill Nieuw Leven was built in 1750 and restored in 1996.[6] In 1840, it was home to 688 people.[7]
