'''Engelen''' is a village in the [Dutch](/source/Netherlands) province of [North Brabant](/source/North_Brabant). It is part of the municipality of ['s-Hertogenbosch](/source/'s-Hertogenbosch).

== Location and plan ==
Engelen is located in the north of North Brabant. It borders the villages [Vlijmen](/source/Vlijmen) and [Bokhoven](/source/Bokhoven) as well as the industrial area De Vutter in `s-Hertogenbosch.

Engelen is divided in several parts. The oldest part consists of the original village. The “new” part consists of the areas that were built before the current expansion took place. The newest part is called plan Haverleij. This consists of castle style housing blocks built around a courtyard / parking lot. Haverleij also includes an 18-hole golf course from Burg Golf.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.burggolf.nl|title=BurgGolf|work=burggolf.nl}}</ref> Haverleij borders [Engelen Lock](/source/Engelen_Lock) on the Dieze Canal. De Haverleij is also closer connecting Engelen to Bokhoven and Vlijmen.
