History
The village was first mentioned in 893 as Bundende. The etymology is unclear.[3] Bunde developed on the eastern flank of the Maas Valley. It used to belong to the Land van Valkenburg. In 1626, it became an independent heerlijkheid.[4] Between June 1814 until May 1815, it was part of Prussia, but awarded to the Kingdom of the Netherlands by the Congress of Vienna.[5]
The Old St Agnes Church is a single aisled church with a double tower at the front. In 1714, the medieval church was replaced by the current church. The tower burnt down in 1822 after a lightning strike. The New St Agnes Church is an aisleless church with concrete tower built between 1959 and 1960.[4]
Bunde was home to 386 people in 1840.[5] It was a separate municipality until 1982, when it became part of the municipality Meerssen.[6]
