A former castle of the Orange family, now owned by the Waterschap. It is surrounded by water, and three gardens, which can be visited.
The largest forest and nature reserve in Breda, cultivated since the 16th century. It is a very nice area for hiking or running, with a decor made of European red pines and ponds.
St. Anthony of Padua Cathedral
Nestled in a side street incidentally named after Saint John, the cathedral church of the long-standing diocese of Breda is much less imposing than the Grote Kerk, but quite unique in that it is a 19th-century creation built in neoclassical style, both inside and out, which is a relative rarity as far as cathedrals go, especially in the Netherlands.
A panopticon-style prison, whose name refers to the cupola topping the round building with prison cells stacked in rounds on the outside walls around a large covered courtyard. It is this prison that held the "Breda four" – the only German prisoners of war who served their sentences after the Second World War in the Netherlands for war crimes committed. The prison building now houses Ukrainian refugees, and is not open for sightseeing.
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.
City and art/design museum. It has a permanent exhibition about the Nassaus and temporary exhibitions by local artists.
