Kampina

The oldest former army base for the Dutch cavalry to have survived. It's a fine example of the historic and industrial heritage in Tilburg, as these barracks were later used for two large wool- and leather factories. Today, it houses a part of the city archives.

The largest wildlife zoo of the Benelux.

It was built in 1847 as a royal residence for Kind William II. The royal family donated it later to the city to house a secular school for the middle class, founded in 1866. One of the early students was Vincent Van Gogh, later recognized as a brilliant painter. The school moved out to new facilities in 1934, when the city decided to refurbish it for use as a city hall. A new, much larger city hall building opened later in 1971 right behind the palace, and the historic building is now used for official ceremonies, including weddings
