History
editThe village was first mentioned in 1475 as Bornerbroeck, and means "swampy land near Borne". The suffix -broek in the village name is a reference to a marsh in the vicinity of the village.[4]
Bornerbroek was home to 570 people in 1840.[3] The current St Stephen's church was built in 1857. It has a tower with a constricted spire. It was remodelled in Gothic Revival style in 1919-1920 by Alexander Kropholler.[5]
