Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk
Built in the Brabantine Gothic style in the 15th and 16th centuries, the church dedicated to Our Lady, as Virgin Mary is most often referred to in the Netherlands, boasts a tower of almost 100 m and one of the largest organs in the country. Inside you will find the Prinsenkapel, where members of the Orange-Nassau family had been buried until the city of Breda fell to the Spanish.
Oude Stadhuis
Compared to the large church, the city hall standing at its back in a wall of buildings lining up the elongated Grote Markt is unassuming at best. Apart from being a neat example of Dutch 18th-century architecture, quite ascetic compared to the raging rococo found in many other countries at that time. The building is now a historic monument and home to several works of art as well as tourist information, but the actual municipal facilities have been moved to a modern building on Claudius Prinsenlaan.
The castle originates in the 14th century and was substantially renewed in Renaissance style around 1540. Unfortunately, the castle is not available for visitors as it is home to the Military Academy since 1826, but of course it can still be admired from the outside.
