Commonly referred to as the sigaar van Oss (cigar of Oss). It is used as a mosque.
The remains of the 14th-century Kasteel van Oss.
A reconstruction of a monarch's grave dating back to the 7th century BC. The hill on which the grave is located, can be found near the A50, where the Brierstraat and Vorstengraflaan meet.
A neo-Gothic styled church built in 1859
This windmill was built in 1860 and was restored to former glory in the 1970s. Visitors are welcome on Saturday mornings between 09:00 and 12:30.
Built in 1895.
A neoclassical residential villa, built in 1888. It is a museum (Museum Jan Cunen), named after the first archivist of Oss.
A well, first referenced in the fourteenth century, though it most likely is older than that. The current well, built in 1926, is about 12 m from the original location.
The classic, bodega-style Mediterranean food here gets good reviews, as does the friendly service. Grilled meat-dishes are very popular, but there's a good selection of fish and vegetarian dishes as well. The menu also holds a range of tapas. The kitchen is open until midnight. The adjoining grand café and restaurant La Colline is run by the same owner and serves cheaper but also Mediterranean food.
A one Michelin star restaurant with excellent food but - of course- matching prices.
Spacious rooms and friendly staff. All rooms come with TV, air-conditioning and a small fridge. Ask for a (more quiet) room at the back, as rooms on the front side overlook a rather busy road. Breakfast costs €12.50 extra.
A friendly bed & breakfast in Berghem, one of the villages around Oss proper and part of the Oss municipality. Altijd Zon is just a few kilometres from the centre of town, and is therefore a fine alternative if you have a car of bicycle. Guests have a private entrance and can make use of the garden and kitchen.
