'''Beekbergen''' ({{IPA|nl|ˈbeːɡbɛrɣə(n)}}; {{langx|nds|Bekbargen}} or ''Beekbargen'') is a village and former municipality in the [[Netherlands|Dutch]] province of [[Gelderland]]. It is located in the municipality of [[Apeldoorn]] on the edge of the [[Veluwe]]. The rural area on the southwestern side of the village is dominated by forests and the rural area on the northeastern side by agricultural land. A hamlet called [[Engeland, Gelderland|Engeland]] is situated inside the rural area that is part of Beekbergen, as well as several holiday villages, campsites and hotels. The village also houses a number of retirement homes and a homeless shelter, called "Het Hoogeland". Beekbergen had 4,546 residents on 1 January 2016, of which about three out of five people were living inside the urban area.

Beekbergen was a separate municipality until 1818, when it became a part of Apeldoorn.<ref>{{Repertorium Nederlandse Gemeenten}}</ref>

There is a Beekbergen railway station, situated about a kilometer outside of Beekbergen, in the village of [[Lieren]]. This station is home to a steam railway that runs from [[Dieren]] to [[Apeldoorn]] over a former passenger railway line,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://stationsweb.nl/lijnlijst.asp?lijn=36|title = Overzicht stations en haltes Dieren- Apeldoorn}}</ref> operated by the [[Veluwsche Stoomtrein Maatschappij]]. The VSM engine sheds are located at 'Beekbergen'.

== Watermills == Three [[Overshot|overshot watermills]] were located along the Oude Beek, a stream, that were used to produce paper. Two of them were called Tullekensmolen – one of them was situated south of the stream and the other one north of it. Both mills burned down in 1872 when they were owned by a family called Dijkgraaf, but only the one on the south bank was rebuilt.<ref>{{Cite web |url =http://www.molendatabase.org/molendb.php |title =Molendatabase: Tullekensmolen (noord) |language =nl |date =21 March 2015 |access-date =31 October 2020 }}</ref>
