Dommelen is a village in southern Netherlands. It is located in the municipality of Valkenswaard, North Brabant. Dommelen derives its name from the little brook Dommel that runs through it. Having its clear water close at hand, Dommelen is mostly known for its beer brewery from which the brand name Dommelsch is derived. Its other main attraction is an old watermill.
Dommelen was a separate municipality until 1934, when it was merged with Valkenswaard.
The spoken language is Kempenlands (an East Brabantian dialect, which is very similar to colloquial Dutch).
