Breda - Valkenbergpark

To the rear of the Begijnhof in Breda lies the Valkenbergpark, at the north gate of which is the Nassau Barony Monument (1905), set up to mark the 500th anniversary of the union of the lordship of Breda with the house of Nassau (1404). The monument, designed by the well known architect P. J. H. Cuypers, shows the coats of arms of 20 communes in the surrounding area and the lion of Nassau with a royal crown, sword and heraldic shield.
