Zwartebroek is a village in the municipality of Barneveld in the Dutch province of Gelderland.[3]
The village is situated on the Veluwe. It lies north of Terschuur and east of Hoevelaken. Like its neighbour Nijkerkerveen, Zwartebroek was founded as a result of the peat extraction in the area.[3]
In 1840, it was home to 596 people. In 1850, a church was built in the village.[4]
