Vries is a village in the Dutch province of Drenthe. It is a part of the municipality of Tynaarlo, and lies about 8 km north of Assen. Vries was a separate municipality until 1998, when it was merged with Eelde and Zuidlaren into a new municipality called Tynaarlo.[3]
History
The village was first mentioned in 1139 as Vrees. The etymology is unclear.[4] Vries is an esdorp which developed in the Early Middle Ages. The old village structure is still visible.[5] The Dutch Reformed church dates from the 12th century. It was extended around 1425.[5] The church contains two sarcophagi.[6] (disputed by the Wikipedia page about Roden) Vries was home to 415 people in 1840.[6] Vries used to be independent municipality. In 1998, it was merged into Tynaarlo.[6]
