Angelslo, Emmen — Area Guide & Where to Stay
Angelslo, a village annexed by Emmen, is one of that city's neighbourhoods in the Dutch province of Drenthe.
About Angelslo
Where to stay in Angelslo
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Emmen holds the rooms and Angelslo holds the housing, so the practical choice for a visitor is a bed in the parent city with the neighbourhood reached from there. Angelslo itself trades little. The landmarks catalogued around it carry codes rather than names, D46 and D47, and a day built around those two gains nothing from a room booked further out across Drenthe.
Central Emmen is the sensible base.
About Angelslo
What are the main landmarks in Angelslo?
Two entries, both coded. D46 and D47 are the only landmarks the record attaches to Angelslo, catalogue designations rather than descriptive names, and they stand on the Drenthe ground the neighbourhood shares with the rest of Emmen. Emmen supplies the rest.
A visitor after monuments looks to the parent city, because the inventory kept for the neighbourhood stops at those two codes.
What is the history of Angelslo?
Annexation ended its independence. Angelslo existed as a village before Emmen took it in, and the neighbourhood that carries the name occupies the same Drenthe ground rather than a separate site chosen later by the city. The name outlasted the change.
Drenthe keeps it in use, and the annexed village became one of the units that make up Emmen, its own founding date absent from anything the sources record.
Where is Angelslo?
Angelslo forms one of the neighbourhoods of Emmen, on Drenthe ground in the Netherlands, with the catalogued D46 and D47 entries close by.
