| "De Grote Kerk",Centre of Breda |
|  | The City The name of the city finds it's origin in a river called the "Brede Aa".The original city centre is surrounded by canals.The centre of Breda has been given cityrights in 1250 and is because of that one of the oldest cities in The Netherlands.
The famous white coloured church is called "De Grote Kerk" or "Onze Lieve Vrouwe Kerk" and has been through a lot in the past centuries.
The big market place right next to the church has a great range of restaurants,bars and terrases and on friday there is a huge food and clothing market in the morning.
On this square you will also find the old city hall and The Historical Museum.
And if you are into shopping just turn into one of the adjoining streets and you will end up in a maze of stores. |
