Stedelijk Museum Breda

Much of the historic peace and tranquillity remains in this former Béguinage. Although no beguines remain, the small houses around the charming courtyard are still inhabited by single ladies. There's a herb garden and a small museum at nr. 29.

A large and pleasant park where you can have a picnic.

Eropuitje Breda is a recreational activity provider in the city centre. The organisation offers, among other things, E-Chopper and E-Step rentals and tours, city games such as Levend Cluedo and Undercover, and group activities such as Team Games, Archery Tag, Bubble Football, and De Alleskunner, with activities taking place in the city and in the nearby Valkenberg city park.

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.

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.

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.
