 | | Brielle, also called Den Briel, (population: 15,948 in 2004) is a town in the western Netherlands, in the province of South Holland. |
 | | During the Eighty Years' War between the Netherlands and Spain, the Capture of Brielle on April 1, 1572 by Protestant rebels, the Watergeuzen, who killed the Martyrs of Gorkum there, marked a turning point in the conflict, as many towns in Holland then began to support William of Orange against the Spanish. |
 | | In 1967, The Queenborough (England) and Brielle (Holland) twinning project was established. |
