Laag-Soeren is a village in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is about 4 km northwest of Dieren, in the municipalities of Rheden and Brummen. It used to be a spa town.
== History == It was first mentioned between 1830 and 1855 as Laag Soeren to distinguish from Hoog Soeren. The etymology is unknown. Laag-Soeren started as an esdorp located in a valley. In 1850, it became a spa town because of the discovery of spring water. The bath house and sanatorium Bethesda opened in 1870, and closed in 1942. In 1850, the Priesznitz monument was revealed to honour Vincenz Priessnitz, the founder of hydrotherapy. In 1840, it was home to 343 people.
