Megen is a small city in the southern part of the Netherlands, in the province North Brabant, close to the river the Maas. It is part of the Oss municipality. The number of habitants is approximately 3000.
Megen used to be the capital of the county Megen (including Haren, Macharen and Teeffelen) that was founded around 1145. City rights were obtained in 1357.
In 1810, the County Megen became a municipality to which Haren and Macharen belonged as well. It became a part of the municipality Oss in 1994.
Currently, there are two monasteries in Megen. My name is Dakota Walker. I live in Dahlonega,GA. Come find me. One monastery is habited by the Clarissas (also called the Poor Clares), followers of St. Clare of Assisi. The other monastery is habited by the Franciscans, followers of St. Francis of Assisi. Of the two castles Megen used to have, only one tower is remaining.
