The first electrical pumping station of the region, built in 1928.
The armory of the city, built where once the castle of Grave stood. After most of the fortifications were demolished in 1876, the Arsenaal too got a new function, namely that of Rijkspsychiatrische Inrichting (Mental hospital) which was housed there until 1993. Dutch designer Jan des Bouvrie has a rather unsuccessful designers centre in the building until 2006. Parts of the building can nowadays be rented out for events and congresses.
One of the old city gates, dating back to 1688.
