Breda’s magnificence
It is a well-kept secret that the grandeur of Breda is all about the intriguing family history of the Orange Nassaus, our current royal house. Rare books, costly glassware, portraits, ecclesiastical objects, the ‘surprising’ contents of cesspools as well as personal witnesses carry you off to the prime of Breda. Learn all about the lavish feasts, intrigue, squabbling and conflicts in king Willem-Alexander’s family history. Discover the role of the Grote Kerk (Church of Our Lady, with its Prince chapel) and Breda Castle in this ancient, surprisingly human story.

Your ‘day in Breda’ can be rounded off with a visit to the Begijnhof and/or the main square the Grote Markt, followed by a walk in Valkenberg Park to allow all of the impressions to sink in ....
