Gilde de Baronie: Castle Tours in Breda

Gilde De Baronie provides a tour of the grounds of Breda Castle, which are normally not accessible to the public. The walk starts at the Baroniemonument, which symbolises the arrival of the Nassaus in Breda.

Information

Gilde de Baronie takes you back in history of the city and the role of the Nassaus.
