Megen is a town in the municipality Oss, in the Dutch province North Brabant. It has about 1,740 inhabitants and is often referred to as a village. Megen is located on the Maas, opposite the Gelderland towns Maasbommel and Appeltern, to which it is connected by ferry services. Megen is a historic place that was a de facto independent county for a long time. It has preserved two monasteries from that time (one of the Franciscans and one of the Clares), the Prison Tower and a medieval street pattern.
