**Vredepeel** is a village in the [Dutch](/source/Netherlands) province of [Limburg](/source/Limburg_(Netherlands)), in the municipality of [Venray](/source/Venray), with a population of 230.[1] It is home to the [Royal Netherlands Army](/source/Royal_Netherlands_Army)'s Joint Ground-based Air Defense Command.[3]

The village was first mentioned in 1712 as "in de Vreeij", and refers to the peace pole. The pole was placed after the [Dutch Republic](/source/Dutch_Republic) and [Prussia](/source/Prussia) reached an agreement in 1716 about the borders in the disputed area.[4] In 1949, the last border correction occurred in the area. The village was officially founded on 16 June 1955, and in 1957, the airport was built which is nowadays known as [Lieutenant General Best Barracks](/source/Lieutenant_General_Best_Barracks).[5]
