De Groote Peel National Park

Brandevoort is a modern district inspired on old Brabant towns and villages. No house is exactly the same, although all homes fit beautifully together with their colors in mostly earth and whites. Even the English Prince Charles has admiringly elated about this district, whose style is now eagerly copied in other cities.

The castle of Helmond is built in 1325. Despite a fierce fire in 1549 it remained well preserved. The castle has been in use as a town hall since 1923 until the 1970s when it became a town museum.

The Saint Lambert church was built from 1856-1861 in neo-Gothic style. It replaced the previous mediaeval church.

The St. Lucia Church was built in 1896 in neo-Gothic style.

The water tower is built in 1948. The twelve-brick tower is 47.3 m high. The ground plan has a cross-shaped structure and the carrying structure is made up of concrete. The total reservoir capacity is 1200 m³.

These houses, designed by Dutch architect Piet Blom, are literally cubes, tilted over by 45 degrees. There were 18 cube houses built in Helmond in the mid-1970s, along with 39 in Rotterdam (where one is open as a museum), and 3 in Toronto.
