    Stadspark Valkenberg

    The Valkenberg park is the green oasis in downtown Breda. A park with royal allure where, until the early nineteenth century, only castle residents and their guests were welcome. Today, it is a wonderful meeting place. Students seek the sun here, or just the shade of the century-old trees. Fathers and mothers let their offspring play in the playground while they themselves settle down on the terrace of T-Huis. Even the dozens of chickens and geese feel right at home here.
