Breda
Breda is a small city with a great history in the south of the Netherlands. Under the supervision of the Holy Roman Emperor in the 11th century, it later became a fortified city and then the cradle of the Dutch royal family when it was taken over by the House of Orange-Nassau in 1403. This means that there is a wealth of heritage to discover, whether you are in Breda on a business trip or to discover the city's rich past. And if you are looking for accommodation in Breda in a good location, look no further than the Leonardo Hotel Breda City Center.
Orientation
From the Great Church, rebuilt in Renaissance style in the 16th century by Henry III of Nassau, to the Beguinage with its historic houses in the centre, everywhere you look you can see the royal heritage of Breda. For a better picture of the city's past and for a glimpse of life during the Spanish occupation in 1625, visit the Stedelijk Museum.
